Answer:

A line imitating the meter of the example would be:

on my skin / drops of rain / on my mind / just one name

Step-by-step explanation:

The anapestic tetrameter consists of 4 anapestic metrical feet. One anapestic foot consists of two unstressed syllables followed by a stressed one. In a way, this type of foot can be seen as a dactyl, but reversed. The line provided in the attachment follows this type of foot, and the question asks us to come up with a similar one ourselves. One possibility is given below. The stressed syllable is the one in bold:

on my skin / drops of rain / on my mind / just one name
