What is the stated claim in the following argument? i should not have to go to school today. my cat had to be taken to the emergency room last night and i barely got any sleep. i don’t really have any important tests or anything. what good would it do for me to get into a car wreck on the way to school because i fell asleep at the wheel?
a. i should not have to go to school today.
b. my cat had to be taken to the emergency room.
c. i barely got any sleep.
d. i don’t really have any important tests or anything.

the correct answer would be d, i never like waking up.

explanation:

iambic tetrameter is a meter which is basically a line consisting of four feet of iambic and it is used in poetry. it consists of unstressed syllables followed by a stressed syllable. in this question, the only statement which is giving the feel of being stressed is option d, which says that i never like waking up. it means the person is feeling stressed whenever he wakes up. he never likes to wake up and and whenever he wakes up, he doesn't like it. so a sense or feel of being stressed is in this statement.
