Iwas surprised to find corruption grown so high and so quick in that empire, by the force of luxury so lately introduced; which made me less wonder at many parallel cases in other countries, where vices of all kinds have reigned so much longer . . as every person called up made exactly the same appearance he had done in the world, it gave me melancholy reflections to observe how much the race of human kind was degenerate among us, within these hundred years past . . who or what is the antagonist of the character vs. self conflict in the passages above?

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.
