Question

Choose the poem that uses iambic meter.

The moon hung above us like a golden mango, and the moist air clung to our facs, warm and fragrant as the open mouth of. child and we watched the out- flung sea.

No title high my father bore; the tenant of thy farm, he left me what i value more: clean heart, clear brain, strong arm

Answer 1

The first passage does not use iambic meter. However, the second passage uses iambic meter with the following pattern:

da-DUM da-DUM da-DUM da-DUM da-DUM

This is an iambic pentameter, which means there are five iambs in each line. Therefore, the second passage contains iambic meter.
