Answer:

The answer is as follows;

  1. Delay - Iambic
  2. Confined - Iambic
  3. Priestess - Not Iambic.
  4. Subject - Iambic
  5. Contract - Iambic

Step-by-step explanation:

The first syllables in each word, 'e, de, be,' and 'de' are unstressed, whereas, the second syllables 'quate, story, long,' and 'lay' are stressed.
