Read the following line. mark the stressed and unstressed syllables by placing the accent mark ( ) over stressed syllables and the breve () over unstressed syllables. 1. when fishes flew and forests walked. 2. through woods and dale the scared river ran

I will use ´ for stressed syllables and ` for the breve:

Whén físhès fléw ànd fórèsts wálked.

Thróugh wóds ànd dále thè scáred rívèr rán

( ) () ( ) ( ) ( ) ( ) () ( )

1. When fishes flew and forests walked.

( ) ( ) ( ) ( ) ( ) ( ) ( ) () ( )

2. Through woods and dale the scared river ran

Explanation:

Most of the words in these sentences are formed by one or two syllables since a syllable must contain as a minimum a vowel, then dividing the sentences in syllables they'd go like:

1. /When/ fish/es/ flew/and/ fo/rests/walked.

2. Through/woods/ and/ dale/ the/ scared/ ri/ver/ ran/

All of the words that only have one syllable will have the stress over the vowel sound of that only syllable, while the words that have to syllables more commonly will have the stress over the first one.

i don't see any questions on your profile, currently, but i'd be happy to try and with any problems that you have, so long as i understand the problem myself.

in this passage from "animal farm", by george orwell, the statement that best explains how boxer's response supports the author's purpose in writing an allegory is option b) orwell uses boxer's decision to avoid more carnage by working hard to show how the working class was manipulated. boxer and the other animals feel they are responsible for their carnage because napoleon uses propaganda to manipulate the animals of the farm.
