What is the meter in the following excerpt from “Jabberwocky” by Lewis Carroll?

'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe

A.
iambic tetrameter (The foot has an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable. This pattern repeats four times in each line.)
B.
trochaic trimeter (The foot has a stressed syllable followed by an unstressed syllable. This pattern repeats three times in each line.)
C.
iambic trimeter (The foot has an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable. This pattern repeats three times in each line.)
D.
trochaic tetrameter (The foot has a stressed syllable followed by an unstressed syllable. This pattern repeats four times in each line.)

Answer:The correct answer is A.

Explanation:

Lambic tetrameter (The foot has an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable. This pattern repeats four times in each line).

Twas brillig, and the slithy toves

Did gyre and gimble in the wabe

In the excerpt the first syllable is not stressed, and it is followed by a stressed syllable; this is called a iamb. This was common in Greek comedies and tragedies.

This pattern is repeated four times during the verses, so it is a tetrameter.

Read this excerpt from The Diary of Anne Frank.

Anne: (Pulling out a pasteboard-bound book) A diary! (She throws her arms around her father) I've never had a diary. And I've always longed for one. (She looks around the room) Pencil, pencil, pencil, pencil. (She starts down the stairs) I'm going down to the office to get a pencil.

Mr. Frank: Anne! No! (He goes after her, catching her by the arm and pulling her back.)

Anne: (Startled) But there's no one in the building now.

Mr. Frank: It doesn't matter. I don't want you ever to go beyond that door.

Anne: (Sobered) Never . . . ? Not even at nighttime, when everyone is gone? Or on Sundays? Can't I go down to listen to the radio?

Mr. Frank: Never. I am sorry, Anneke. It isn't safe. No, you must never go beyond that door.

Read Edward Corsi’s quotation from the book Immigrant Kids by Russell Freedman.

The writer Angelo Pellegrini has recalled his own family’s detention at Ellis Island:

We lived there for three days - Mother and we five children, the youngest of whom was three years old. Because of the rigorous physical examination that we had to submit to, particularly of the eyes, there was this terrible anxiety that one of us might be rejected. And if one of us was, what would the rest of the family do?

This quotation adds credibility to the text because

his mother lived on Ellis Island with her children, and their experience agrees with Freedman’s statement that families were separated.
he lived at Ellis Island for three days, and his experience agrees with Freedman’s statement that families were afraid of the health examinations.
he was a writer who wrote about Ellis Island and described the feelings an immigrant might have during the physical exams.
he lived at Ellis Island for three days, and his experience shows that immigrants actually were not very fearful of the health examinations.

Read this paragraph from Passage 2.

There are also many costs involved in making movies that most people do not know about. There are the costs of the actors, directors, and all the other workers on the movie sets. The costs of the sets, locations, accommodations, and all the other things that are needed can also add up very quickly. Once the movie has been shot, there are many costs added in the editing process, especially if computer-assisted graphics are needed for the movie. Once the movie is ready to be released to the public, the costs increase even more. Advertising and promoting the movie, along with distributing the movie to the theaters can cost as much as the movie itself. All along the way, everyone involved in the movie is trying to make money and hoping that their movie will generate enough revenue to make a profit.

Why did the author MOST likely include this paragraph in the passage?




A to explain what goes into making a movie
B to explain why movies cost so much to make
C to explain why producers need their movies to make a profit
D to explain what steps movie makers go through to make movies
