What is the base meter of this poem? XXIII Is it indeed so? If I lay here dead, Wouldst thou miss any life in losing mine? And would the sun for thee more coldly shine Because of grave-damps falling round my head? I marvelled, my Beloved, when I read Thy thought so in the letter. I am thine— But . . . so much to thee? Can I pour thy wine While my hands tremble? Then my soul, instead Of dreams of death, resumes life's lower range. Then, love me, Love! look on me—breathe on me! As brighter ladies do not count it strange, For love, to give up acres and degree, I yield the grave for thy sake, and exchange My near sweet view of heaven, for earth with thee! iambic pentameter dactylic hexameter anapestic tetrameter

2-the ugliest sea creature is the manatee.
Fact or Opinion Explain:
3-prison is one of the worst places on the planet.
4-Oranges contain both calcium and vitamin C.

Answers

1. Fact, scientific experimentation has proven that the cheetah is the fastest land dwelling creature.
2. Opinion, because the manatee is not proven to the ugliest sea creature and some people may like them.
3. Opinion, because not all people hate prison it may be bad but not to all people.
4. Fact, scientific experimentation has proven that oranges contain both calcium and vitamin c.

1-The fastest land dwellingcreature is the Cheetah.

Fact.  This is fact because it can be verified.

 

2-the ugliest sea creature isthe manatee.

Opinion.  Because opinions vary and beauty (orugliness) is relative, perspectives on what is considered “ugly” will vary.

 

3-prison is one of the worstplaces on the planet.

Opinion.  This is a relative thought.  To some, prison might be considered a goodplace.  In fact, there are instanceswhere convicts cannot function in society after a long prison term and commitcrimes to be returned to prison because society has become a bad place—a placewhere hardships outweigh those they faced in prison.


4-Oranges contain both calciumand vitamin C.

Fact.  This is something that can be tested andverified as true.

 

NOTE:  When trying to determine whether something isa fact or an opinion, just be sure to keep in mind that if the statement can beproven, it is fact; if the statement cannot be proven, it must be an opinion.

Trayvon, Julie, and Caleb who are members of the drama club, are auditioning for the school musical on Wednesday. Where should a comma be placed in this sentence? after “musical”
after “auditioning”
after “members”
after “Caleb”

Answers

Answer: D) After "Caleb."

Explanation: When we are writing a sentence or a text, we must pay attention to the correct use of punctuation marks, and also the correct placement. One of the most common uses of a comma is to introduce additional information in a sentence, without using parentheses. In the given sentence we should place a comma after the word "Caleb" because the phrase "who are members of the drama club" is giving additional information to the sentence and it should have commas before and after.

The answer is D. after "Caleb"
