10, in that they are in iambic pentameter. An iamb is a unit composed of two syllable, and "penta" means 5.

10 if you break down the iambic pentameter. I'm sure somebody already answered that though. Best to you.

You know, I could just give you the answer, but I'm REALLY curious about this particular question.
I'm assuming that, in this class, you were assigned at least one of Shakespeare's plays to read. Before you posted this exam question here, did you even bother to COUNT the syllables in any of the lines?

B) Iambic Penatameter I believe is the meter he mostly used.
