Which characteristic of "Sonnet XII" shows that the poem is a
sonnet?
A: It is written in Medieval English.
B: Most of the words have two syllables.
C: All of the lines rhyme.
D: It is written in iambic pentameter.

The correct answer is D. It is written in iambic pentameter.

Explanation

A sonnet is a type of fourteen-line poem written in iambic pentameter. The iambic pentameter as its name implies is the sequence of five iambs. An iamb is an unstressed (symbolized with x) syllable followed by an accented one (symbolized with /).

Another characteristic of the sonnet is a structure of two quartets and two triples, that is, the first four lines rhyme, the next four lines rhyme, the next three lines rhyme, and the last three lines rhyme.

According to the above, the Sonnet XII by William Shakespeare is a sonnet because its first four verses rhyme with its last words: time, night, prime, and white. The second quartet also rhymes with words: leaves, herd, sheaves, and beard.

First triple rhyme with words make, go, forsake; second triple rhyme with words: grow, defense, and hence.

Also, if we examine any verse we can confirm that it was written in iambic pentameter, for example:

When(x) I(/) do(x) count(/) the(x) clock(/) that(x) tells(/) the(x) time(/).

So, the correct answer is D. It is written in iambic pentameter.

Answer:

We have been using gps systems for years now, but do you know the risks that come with having one in almost all of your devices? Well if you don’t, just know that it's not 100% risk, they can help you too. Are all of the rewards worth it? It is time to find out.

Its common knowledge that GPS can find and use your location for many things such as finding your destination, speed, ect. Ect. But do you know how they do it? GPS systems use multiple satellites to track your location to make many things easy for you like we mentioned previously. “A GPS tracking system uses the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) network. This network incorporates a range of satellites that use microwave signals that are transmitted to GPS devices to give information on location” Knowing all of this can help you figure out where your phone is if you lost it.

If you are ever in danger and call the police, they can use your GPS to find your location if you are ever unable to locate where you are. This can save many lives. GPS is also important to “figure out where you are needing to go” when it comes to vehicular travel. Many cars nowadays even have screens in them so you can connect your phones GPS to it, further highlighting the importance of the GPS.

However with the GPS, its not all sunshine and rainbows. Yes it can help you get out of an emergency, but it can be the thing that causes it in the first place. GPS is something that could be taken easily from someone who knows what they are doing, making you vulnerable to cyber attacks. If someone knows this information, they can figure out so much about you. So GPS can be dangerous to have.

In conclusion, GPS systems can be very helpful to the point where you feel like you need them, and even if you do not, there are many amounts of benefits to using them, from knowing where you are to being able to find lost items across the planet. yet there are still some risks when using them. Everything uses gps now and it is astonishing how little people truly know about them when they should. At least accounting for the huge amount it is used in anyone's day to day life. Don't you think this should be common knowledge?
