An example of an iambic foot is the word char' ac ter ten ne see' po' et de note'

An iamb is a word with the pattern unstressed/stressed. "Denote" is your best bet here. Tennessee is most likely anapestic, as it is three syllables. Iambic is always two.  When looking at anything iambic, the second syllable is going to be drawn out, so it would sound like "de-KNOWt." 

It would be if there was a picture !
