52 points reread paragraph 3. before the battle, what is james's point of view on being given a drum? he returned carrying a drum. "i don't issue firearms to boys," he said. "take this." for a moment, i could only stare at it. the drum was large and brightly painted. it was decorated with stars, a bird, and a ribbon. it looked like an oversized toy. i wanted to take my fist and punch a hole straight through it. a. he thinks the drum is a boring instrument. b. he thinks he has been given the drum as a joke. c. he thinks being a drummer is a job for a child. d. he thinks it will be impossible for him to learn how to drum.

i believe it is he has been given the drum as a joke.

the correct answer would be d, i never like waking up.

explanation:

iambic tetrameter is a meter which is basically a line consisting of four feet of iambic and it is used in poetry. it consists of unstressed syllables followed by a stressed syllable. in this question, the only statement which is giving the feel of being stressed is option d, which says that i never like waking up. it means the person is feeling stressed whenever he wakes up. he never likes to wake up and and whenever he wakes up, he doesn't like it. so a sense or feel of being stressed is in this statement.
