Which of the following structural elements best supports the interpretation that the rain is a powerful force in the narrator’s life?

a. the trochees and the iambic pentameter

b. the uneven meter in the lines and enjambment

c. the onomatopoeia and the couplet

d. the alternating rhyme and the meter

e. the dactyls and the half-rhymes

B. the uneven meter in the lines and enjambment

Explanation:

There are two ideas to this question, one which answer choices are structural elements and two which answer choices interpret that the rain is a powerful force.

A.the trochees and the iambic pentameter

The poem includes different types of meters.

B.the uneven meter in the lines and enjambment

The poem includes irregular meter because beats do not evenly divide into groups. The pauses that go beyond the lines, enjambment, describe the rain.

C.the onomatopoeia and the couplet

The rain is used to create a vivid image of the storm, but onomatopoeia is sound not a structural element.

D.the alternating rhyme and the meter

The meter in the poem is uneven through out.

E.the dactyls and the half-rhymes

I cannot find half-rhymes in this poem.

sis. it's been a while since a read that and had that class so i can't answer for u

substitute y = 2x - 4 to x + 2y = 12:

x + 2(2x - 4) = 12     use distributive property

x + (2)(2x) + () = 12

x + 4x - 8 = 12     add 8 to both sides

5x = 20     divide both sides by 5

x = 4

put the value of x to the first equation:

y = 2(4) - 4

y = 8 - 4

y = 4
