The correct answers are **C. iambic **and C. Classical.
Poets during the era of Classicism liked writing their poems using the iambic meter. This means that their words consisted of two syllables where the first one was unstressed, and the one following it was stressed. Given that the Revolutionary-era poets were inspired by the Classical era, they wanted to replicate the style of its poets, so they also wrote in iambs.
