explanation:

iambic tetrameter is a meter which is basically a line consisting of four feet of iambic and it is used in poetry. it consists of unstressed syllables followed by a stressed syllable. in this question, the only statement which is giving the feel of being stressed is option d, which says that i never like waking up. it means the person is feeling stressed whenever he wakes up. he never likes to wake up and and whenever he wakes up, he doesn't like it. so a sense or feel of being stressed is in this statement.  

bearing in mind that painting during the 1700s was a medium used by the artists at courts in order to depict the kings or queens' portraits as well as their power and influence, the painting of king louis xiv as shown in sugar changed the world supports this claim. in this painting it is possible to observe three examples of wealth, power, and influence.

the king is wearing elaborate clothing made of fancy materials.

the king has a sword and sits next to a helmet.

the king sits next to a crown, which symbolizes his power.

wearing expensive clothes, carrying a sword and posing next to a crown are symbols of wealth, power and influence which clearly represent the importance of monarchy during those times.
