Answer:

B. The wonderment of life

Explanation:

Cinquains are a type of poem that follows a specific format. It has five lines, (hence "cinq" which means 5 in french).

The lines each have a specific number of syllables:

Line 1: 2

Line 2: 4

Line 3: 6

Line 4: 8

Line 5: 2

To count the number of syllables a word has, say the word out loud and count the number of sounds you say.

For example:

be - fore (before): 2 syllables

won - der - ment (wonderment): 3 syllables

dis - co - ver - ies (discoveries): 4 syllables

Since the missing line is the third line, we need 6 syllables.

"The wonderment of life" has 6 syllables:

The - won - der - ment - of - life

Other options:

A. 4 syllables

A - mazed - by - what's

C. 7 syllables

Be - wil - der - ing - won - drous - things

D. 9 syllables

Sen - ses - a - mazed - by - dis - co - ver - ies
