I'll help you with that.
1. Choose the word whose underlined part is pronounced differently from that of the others.
A. rulers B. crops C. flutes D. posts
The answer is: B. crops
In IPA notation, "rulers", "flutes", and "posts" all end with a "z" sound (/rulərz/, /fluts/, /poʊsts/), whereas "crops" ends with a "ps" sound (/krɑps/).
2. A. flute B. feature C. costume D. livestock
The answer is: A. flute
In IPA notation, the words "feature", "costume", and "livestock" all have a distinct ending sound, whereas "flute" has a unique sound (/flut/).
3. A. knew B. flew C. grew D. drew
The answer is: A. knew
In IPA notation, the words "flew", "grew", and "drew" all have a similar sound (/flu/, /gru/, /dru/), whereas "knew" has a different sound (/nu/).
4. A. hear B. dear C. heart D. near
The answer is: C. heart
In IPA notation, the words "hear", "dear", and "near" all have a similar sound (/hir/, /dɪr/, /nɪr/), whereas "heart" has a different sound (/hɑrt/).
5. A. lived B. played C. promised D. cleaned
The answer is: D. cleaned
In IPA notation, the words "lived", "played", and "promised" all have a similar ending sound (/lɪvd/, /pleɪd/, /ˈprɑməst/), whereas "cleaned" has a different sound (/klind/).
Mark the letter A, B, C, or D that differs from the other three in the position of primary stress.
6. A. happen B. listen C. finish D. communal
The answer is: D. communal
In IPA notation, the words "happen", "listen", and "finish" all have primary stress on the first syllable (/ˈhæpən/, /ˈlɪsən/, /ˈfɪnɪʃ/), whereas "communal" has primary stress on the second syllable (/kəmˈjunəl/).
7. A. harvest B. arange C. costume D. famous
The answer is: B. arange
Note that the word "arange" is not provided with an IPA notation, so this answer is based on common pronunciation patterns. However, assuming a typical pronunciation for "arange" (e.g., /əˈrændʒ/), the answer would be B. arange, as it would be the only word with primary stress on the second syllable, whereas the other words have primary stress on the first syllable (/ˈhɑrvəst/, /ˈkɑstum/, /ˈfeɪməs/).
