6. The following lines are predominantly in which meter? 
	Go, and catch a falling star,
	Get with child a mandrake root, 
	Tell me, where all past years are . . .

  1. iambic tetrameter
  2. iambic pentameter
  3. trochaic tetrameter
  4. trochaic pentameter
  5. anapestic pentameter
  6. anapestic tetrameter
  7. dactyllic pentameter
  8. dactyllic tetrameter

1 is WRONG.

It's tetrameter, right enough, but not iambic (not "go AND | catch A | fall ING |...")
