In iambic pentameter, each verse consists of five metrical feet. Meter is a poem's rhythm, and feet are units of that rhythm.
In an iamb, an unstressed syllable is followed by a stressed syllable, as in the word "hello."
"Penta" means five, so a verse of iambic pentameter has five iambs.
Five pairs of unstressed syllables followed by stressed syllables.
Five pairs gives a total of ten syllables. So the answer is B, "each line contains ten syllables."

Answer:
A.) to endear certain characters to us.
D.) to show characters’ educational levels.
Stowe's use of dialogue enriches the setting of the story in various ways. First of all, it makes the characters more realistic and endears certain characters to us. By representing their speech as it most likely sounded in real life, we feel like we get to know the characters better. This makes us care about them more deeply. Stowe also uses dialect in order to show the educational levels of the characters, as "standard" English is most likely to be used by characters who are literate and have received some education.
