Solution

failed
failed
Answer

The answer is five.

Explanation
Option 1: Four

This option suggests that there are four iambs in the line. An iamb is a metrical foot consisting of an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable. In the line "Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines," there are more than four iambs.

Option 2: Five

This is the correct option. The line "Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines" is written in iambic pentameter, which means it contains five iambs. Breaking it down:

  • "Some-time" (unstressed-stressed)
  • "too hot" (unstressed-stressed)
  • "the eye" (unstressed-stressed)
  • "of hea-" (unstressed-stressed)
  • "ven shines" (unstressed-stressed)
Option 3: Eight

This option suggests there are eight iambs, which is incorrect. The line is not long enough to contain eight iambs.

Option 4: Ten

This option suggests there are ten iambs, which is also incorrect. The line is written in iambic pentameter, which consists of five iambs, not ten.
