Which two types of foot patterns are used in the excerpt from the poem “Annabel Lee” by Edgar Allan Poe? It was ma|ny and ma|ny a year | ago, In a king|dom by | the sea,

Respuesta :

It was ma/ny and ma/ny a year/ ago/,

The first three groups have three syllables each, and each one ends with a stressed beat (shown in bold). Those are the anapests. The last group (or foot) only has two syllables – that's your iamb. Same trick in the next line:

In a king/dom by/ the sea/

Answer:

The two types of foot patterns that are used in the excerpt from the poem “Annabel Lee” by Edgar Allan Poe are anapests and iamb

Explanation:

An anapaest is a type of meter used in poetry where two short syllables are followed by a long syllable, it works in the same way in matters of stress since it has two unstressed syllables followed by a stressed one. An iamb consists of a short syllable followed by a long syllable, talking about the stress it has an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed one.

It was ma|ny and ma|ny a year | ago, In a king|dom by | the sea
