1. To determine the number of metrical feet in each line from "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" by Robert Frost, you can scan the lines for the pattern of stressed and unstressed syllables. In this poem, the meter is iambic tetrameter, which means each line consists of four metrical feet, with each foot containing one unstressed syllable followed by one stressed syllable. Therefore, the correct answer is C. Four.
2. To identify the rhyming lines in the verse from "Jim" by Gwendolyn Brooks, you can look for similar end sounds. In this case, the second and fourth lines "in" and "bread" rhyme with each other. Therefore, the correct answer is B. The second and fourth lines.
3. To find the rhyming words in "Annabel Lee" by Edgar Allan Poe, you can look for words with matching end sounds. In this case, the words "ago," "sea," "know," and "Lee" all share the same "o" sound, indicating a rhyme. Therefore, the correct answer is C. Ago, sea, know, Lee.
4. To determine the pattern of stressed syllables in the lines from "Annabel Lee," you can count the stressed syllables in each line. The first line "It was many and many a year ago" contains four stressed syllables, while the second line "In a kingdom by the sea" contains three stressed syllables. Therefore, the correct answer is B. The first line contains four stressed syllables, and the second line contains three stressed syllables.
5. To understand when a talk might be described as uncommonly difficult, you need to assess the situation. In this case, the answer is B. When you find the talk much more demanding than expected. If a talk proves to be more challenging than initially anticipated, it would be appropriate to describe it as uncommonly difficult.
