Answer:
An iamb consists of a unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable.
Explanation:
An iambic pentameter is the metrical form of poetry where there are ten syllables in a line. And the words/ syllables are constructed in the pattern of a unstressed syllable followed by an stressed syllable.
In William Shakespeare's "Sonnet 29", the lines are constructed in the given poem, with the unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable. The unstressed syllables are left as is while the stressed syllables are bolded.
"When, in disgrace with fortune and men’s eyes,
I all alone beweep my outcast state,"
Thus, the correct answer is the second option.
