An iambic metrical foot consists of

Answer Details
An iambic metrical foot consists of an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable. It is a common metrical foot in poetry and is sometimes referred to as a "rising meter" because it creates a rising rhythm or cadence. For example, the word "above" is an iambic word because the first syllable "a-" is unstressed and the second syllable "-bove" is stressed.
