Answer: A) 7-7-7-8.
Step-by-step explanation: The best wat to determine the syllable count of the lines of a poem is to read the lines out loud, separate all the words into syllables as we pronounce them, and them count them. In the given lines from "The Tiger" by William Blake, the separation would be:
Ti-ger-Ti-ger-bur-ning-bright
In-the-fo-rests-of-the-night
what-im-mor-tal-hand-or-eye
could-frame-thy-fear-ful-sym-me-try.
So, when we count the syllables in each line, we obtain 7-7-7-8, corresponding to option A.
