Which lines are written in iambic pentameter? Select two options.The smoke of my own breathAnd what I assume you shall assumeI never saw a moorYet certain am I of the spotAnd summer's lease hath all too short a dateNor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st

Iambic pentameter usually has five pairs of syllables, with the stress falling on the second syllable in each pair. “And summer’s lease hath all too short a date” can be read as “and SUM | mer’s LEASE | hath ALL | too SHORT | a DATE,” and “Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow’st” as “nor LOSE | pos SES | sion OF | that FAIR | thou OW’ST.” Each line has five iambic feet, so the correct choices are E, “And summer’s lease hath all too short a date,” and F, “Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow’st.”
