d. i think that john is looking glum to me?

To tell if a line is written in iambic pentameter, you need to count the syllables and then determine the rhythm of stressed and unstressed syllables. This sentence has 10 syllables, which is the requirement. The 10 syllables are comprised of 5 "iambs" which are sets of two syllables that alternate unstressed, stressed. Since this is the case with this line, it is iambic pentameter.
