The line "A tree whose hungry mouth is prest" is an example of iambic A. trimeter.
B. pentameter.
C. tetrameter.
D. dimeter.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: Since the only way to find out if a line is written in a trimeter, or pentameter, etc. is to count the number of syllables, and then divide that number by two to get the meter, that is exactly what we are going to do here.
This line has 8 syllables: (a tree whose hung- ry mouth is prest), we should divide it by 2, which equals 4. 
So, the correct answer is that this line is an example of iambic tetrameter. Tetra means 4.

9. Correct: She took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and stepped off the high diving board.

The other 3 corrected below. Each of these are making a list, and a list needs comma between each item.

a. Toby designed the set [comma here] Ruby made the puppets, and I wrote the story.
b. Frankly, I thought the story was boring [comma here] silly, and a complete waste of time.
c. Josh put hay [comma here] grain, and containers of water in the truck.

10. Correct: She had bought a frame for the photograph, but the frame was too big. 

a. Tina hadn’t practiced all week [comma] yet she played beautifully. - This transitions a thought. 
b. The driver may have taken a wrong turn [comma] or he may have been delayed. - List
c. They had met when they were four [comma] so they had known each other for 30 years. - Transition. 

11. Correct: The bright, colorful curtains let in plenty of light. 

a. You can clean your room [comma] rake the yard [comma] or help me with the car. - List
b. Underneath the rug [comma] in the front room, [I think this is an incorrect comma, but I'm not sure.] was the entrance to the basement. - Transition
c. While the pizza was baking [comma] we checked the mail. - Transition

A good rule of thumb for commas is whenever you say the sentence outloud, any time you pause slightly, you will generally use a comma when writing. 

Reasons to use a comma: 

A "transition" (as I call it) between two independent clauses. An independent clause is a part of a sentence that by itself could be a sentence. For example: Tina hadn’t practiced all week. She played beautifully. (Question 10)

Any list. "We did A, B, and C."

With a conjunction (and, but, for, nor, yet, or, so). "We can do A, but not B."

"Introductory elements". This is sometimes optional, but generally using a comma is correct regardless of if it is necessary. Question 11: Underneath the rug [comma] in the front room [etc]. The "underneath the rug" is introductory and dependent on the rest of the sentence.

What do you mean by Verbal Communication?

Verbal communication has the ability to use the voice to express what you feel or think through words; the gestures and all the expressive resources of the speaker's movements are part of what unconsciously accompanies our words but that are nonverbal communication.

Nonverbal communication, within which body language is found, refers to all those signs or signals related to the communication situation that are not written or oral words.

Through the intonation the artist puts emphasis or give more strength to those words or syllables with which he wants to attract the attention of the audience.

Spoken and written language because without a solid understanding of this it would be hard to verbally communicate, thus making this the best choice out of the four.

Read this excerpt from Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Masque of the Red Death" and answer the question that follows. Here the case was very different, as might have been expected from the duke's love of the bizarre. The apartments were so irregularly disposed that the vision embraced but little more than one at a time. There was a sharp turn at every twenty or thirty yards, and at each turn a novel effect. To the right and left, in the middle of each wall, a tall and narrow Gothic window looked out upon a closed corridor which pursued the windings of the suite. These windows were of stained glass whose colour varied in accordance with the prevailing hue of the decorations of the chamber into which it opened. That at the eastern extremity was hung, for example in blue—and vividly blue were its windows. The second chamber was purple in its ornaments and tapestries, and here the panes were purple. The third was green throughout, and so were the casements. The fourth was furnished and lighted with orange—the fifth with white—the sixth with violet. The seventh apartment was closely shrouded in black velvet tapestries that hung all over the ceiling and down the walls, falling in heavy folds upon a carpet of the same material and hue. . . .And thus were produced a multitude of gaudy and fantastic appearances.
