Question 9 • GA-Literature and Composition I
The line has 10 syllables: “Rough winds do shake the dar-ling buds of May.” An iamb has two syllables—one unstressed followed by one stressed—so 10 syllables make five iambs. The correct choice is “Five, because an iamb is an unstressed syllable and a stressed syllable.”
