Read the excerpt from "The Charge of the Light Brigade."

"Forward, the Light Brigade!"

Was there a man dismay’d?

Not tho’ the soldier knew

Some one had blunder’d:

Theirs not to make reply,

Theirs not to reason why,

Theirs but to do and die:

Which choice is the rhythm in the poem?

DUM da da DUM da da
da da DUM da da DUM
da DUM DUM da DUM DUM
DUM DUM da DUM DUM da

I have no idea why the "dum da dum" thing is there, but the answer is C, theirs, make.

Explanation:

The stressed syllable is the one you say with more force, and for this, this had more force than the other one.  (Also, I just got the question right.)

Answer/Explanation:

c) da DUM DUM da DUM DUM

- free verse.

- " in poetry, one of the best ways to practice technique is to write in. i want all to be unstressed so that “all the clocks” and “in the night” are matching anapests. many forms that sharpen skills are useful in free verse."

answer: may i see the sentences?
