Read the stanza from poe's poem "eldorado" and determine which metrical foot he uses. gaily bedight, a gallant knight, in sunshine and in shadow, had journeyed long, singing a song, in search of eldorado. a. iambic: ˘ ' b. trochaic: ' ˘ c. anapestic: ˘ ˘ ' d. dactylic: ' ˘ ˘

A.iambic: ˘ '

Explanation:

Although it starts with a trochee (with is basically a reverse Iamb, having a stressed syllable first), the rest of the poem follows the iambic form, starting with an unstressed syllable and then alternating.

Poe didn't really follow any pre-conceived structure when writing the poem. This was considered by many "part of his genius"

its hard for me to see which word is supposed to be in bold. if i knew then i would be able to better.
