D. spondee hexameter

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

The correct answer is B. dactylic hexameter.


Dactylic hexameter was a popular style of writing during Homer's time. It is a style that is rather elevated, and contributes to the epicness of his poem The Odyssey. Hexameter means that there are 12 syllables in one line (meter contains two syllables, and hexa means 6), whereas a dactyl consists of three syllables (the first one is stressed, the following two are unstressed).

Answer 2
Answer: The correct answer is B. The dactylic hexameter. Hexameter means that there are 12 syllables and dactyl is a type of an accent pattern during poetry. Dactyl more precisely is "accent, no accent no accent".
