To find the word whose underlined part is pronounced differently from that of the others in each group, let's analyze the IPA notation of each word.
**Question 1**
The words are:
- luxury: ˈləgʒəri (stress on the first syllable, "u" is pronounced as ʒər)
- cultural: ˈkəlʧərəl (stress on the first syllable, "u" is pronounced as ʧər)
- pollution: pəˈluʃən (stress on the second syllable, "u" is pronounced as uʃ)
- drumhead: ˈdrəmhɛd (stress on the first syllable, "u" is pronounced as ʊ)
Comparing the underlined parts, we notice that the word "pollution" is the one with a different stress pattern (on the second syllable instead of the first), but if we focus on the sound of "u", we'll find that "luxury" and "cultural" are close, and so are "drumhead" and the "u" in "pollution". However, the "u" in "pollution" is followed by "ʃ", which makes the whole underlined part sound more distinct, but it is the way "u" is pronounced in the other options vs the "u" followed by "ʃ" in "pollution". So, considering only the "u", the distinct one would be the "u" in "luxury" and "cultural" vs the "u" in the other options. However, considering the options, all of them have a distinct "u". So, focusing on other letters such as the sounds of the letter "o" and the way they're pronounced in "pollution" makes it a little bit distinct.
But the most distinct underlined part is actually in the word "drumhead", if we compare the "u" in all the words, the "u" in "luxury", "cultural" and "pollution" have almost the same sound, while the "u" in the word "drumhead" is pronounced differently as "ʊ".
**Question 2**
The words are:
- business: ˈbɪznɪs (stress on the first syllable, "i" is pronounced as ɪ)
- system: ˈsɪstəm (stress on the first syllable, "y" is pronounced as ɪ)
- landscape: ˈlænskeɪp (stress on the first syllable, "a" is pronounced as æ)
- historical: hɪˈstɔrɪkəl (stress on the second syllable, "i" is pronounced as ɪ)
Comparing the underlined parts, we notice that "landscape" has an "a" which sounds differently (æ) than the others, which have "i" sounds (ɪ). So, the underlined part in "landscape" is pronounced differently than that of the others.
Answer:
Question 1: D
Question 2: C
To solve the questions, we need to analyze the stress positions of each word.
Question 3:
'multicultural' stressed at third syllable
'cosmopolitan' stressed at third syllable
'metropolitan' stressed at third syllable
'communication' stressed at fourth syllable
Analyze: All words have stress positions at third or fourth syllable, but 'multicultural', 'cosmopolitan', 'metropolitan' have stress at the same position, which is third syllable. However, 'communication' has a different stress position.
Answer: D. communication
Question 4:
'interviewer' stressed at first syllable
'communicator' stressed at second syllable
'facilitator' stressed at second syllable
'evaluator' stressed position not provided, so cannot determine. We will ignore this word in this case.
Analyze: 'communicator' and 'facilitator' have stress positions at the same position, which is second syllable. 'Interviewer' has a different stress position.
Answer: A. interviewer
Question 5: B. wastefully
Question 6: A. cooked
Question 7: B
