Which sentence is consistently iambic? A. Eleven runners ran.
B. Write to the president. C. Robert ruined Christmas.
D. In the sun we can play.

The sentence that is consistently iambic is:

A. Eleven runners ran.

Explanation:

An iamb consists of an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed one. If we have three iambs, we say the line is written in iambic trimeter; four iambs, iambic tetrameter; five, iambic pentameter. In option A, we have a iambic line. Let's highlight the stressed syllables so that we can count how many iambs there are:

A. Eleven runners ran.

As we can see, we have three iambs, that is, three sequences of an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed one: 1. elev; 2. en run; 3. ners ran. Therefore, we can say option A is consistently iambic, being an iambic trimeter.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
