    The statement about iambic pentameter which is correct is that an iamb consists of an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable. Iamb has a sequence of two syllables, unstressed and stressed, which immediately rules out options A and D. Since the unstressed syllable comes first, option C is also incorrect. An example from that poem would be: And look upon myself, and curse my fate.
