To solve this problem, we'll analyze the pronunciation of each word given in the IPA notation and find the word whose underlined part differs from the others. 1. A. near: nɪr B. learn: lərn C. dear: dɪr D. clear: klɪr The underlined part refers to the starting sound. Here, the words "near", "learn", and "dear" all start with a vowel sound (ɪ), while "clear" starts with the "kl" sound. So, "clear" is the one that differs. Answer: D 2. A. knocked: nɑkt B. needed: ˈnidɪd C. founded: ˈfaʊndɪd D. wanted: ˈwɔntɪd The underlined part refers to the stress pattern. Here, "knocked" has an even stress pattern (nɑkt), while the other three words have the stress on the first syllable (ˈnidɪd, ˈfaʊndɪd, ˈwɔntɪd). So, "knocked" is the one that differs. Answer: A 3. A. volunteer: vɑlənˈtɪr B. collage: kəˈlɑʒ C. community: kəmˈjunɪti D. doctor: ˈdɔktər The underlined part refers to the stress pattern. Here, "volunteer", "collage", and "community" all have the stress on the second or later syllable (vɑlənˈtɪr, kəˈlɑʒ, kəmˈjunɪti), while "doctor" has the stress on the first syllable (ˈdɔktər). So, "doctor" is the one that differs. Answer: D 4. A. provide: prəˈvaɪd B. individual: ɪndəˈvɪʤəwəl C. situation: sɪʧuˈeɪʃən D. children: ˈʧɪldrən The underlined part refers to the stress pattern. Here, "provide", "individual", and "situation" all have the stress on a later syllable (prəˈvaɪd, ɪndəˈvɪʤəwəl, sɪʧuˈeɪʃən), while "children" has the stress on the first syllable (ˈʧɪldrən). So, "children" is the one that differs. Answer: D 5. A. tutor: ˈtutər B. student: ˈstudənt C. university: junəˈvərsəti D. discuss: dɪˈskəs The underlined part refers to the stress pattern. Here, "tutor", "student", and "discuss" all have the stress on a different syllable or pattern (ˈtutər, ˈstudənt, dɪˈskəs), while "university" has a different stress pattern (junəˈvərsəti). However, "tutor" and "student" have the stress on the first syllable (ˈtutər, ˈstudənt), while the other two have a different stress pattern. So, "university" and "discuss" are the ones that differ from "tutor" and "student". However, the answer should be one word that differs from the rest. Here, "university" and "discuss" have the same pattern (junəˈvərsəti, dɪˈskəs), while "tutor" and "student" have the same pattern (ˈtutər, ˈstudənt). However, if we consider the starting sound or syllable, "university" starts with "jun" and the other three words start with a different sound (ˈtutər, ˈstudənt, dɪˈskəs). So, "university" is the one that differs from the rest. Answer: C Question 6: A.

D - when she was a girl → when she was a little girl (there are better ways to correct, but based on given options, D is correct answer) 15. D - and cleaning → and cleaned Here are the questions for the underlined parts: 16. What is his favorite hobby? 17. When did they start working as a volunteer? And here are the complete sentences: 18. My sister plays chess with me every evening. 19. We didn't like watching football. 20. He doesn't eat lots of junk food and do exercise.

A. stamp collecting is a very popular hobby 24. B. the activity of buying or selling something 25. C. good things from stamp collecting In my free time, I enjoy playing chess. I find the strategy and critical thinking involved in the game to be both challenging and rewarding. Playing chess helps me relax and focus my mind. I try to play as often as I can, whether it's with friends or online opponents, and I'm always looking to improve my skills and learn new techniques. To determine the word whose underlined part differs from the others, we need to analyze the pronunciation of each word. Question 1: A. winter B. expert C. under D. river All words (winter, expert, under, river) have the same stress pattern (ˈ), which is the main stress on the first syllable. However, the underlined part is likely referring to the vowel sound in the first syllable. - winter: ˈwɪntər (ɪ) - expert: ˈɛkspərt (ɛ) - under: ˈəndər (ə) - river: ˈrɪvər (ɪ) The vowel sound that differs from the others (ɪ and ɛ) is 'ə' in under. So, the correct answer is C. under. Question 2: A. thursday B. purple C. surprise D. turtle All words (thursday, purple, turtle) have the same stress pattern (ˈ), which is the main stress on the first syllable. However, the word surprise has a different stress pattern (səˈpraɪz), which is the main stress on the second syllable. - thursday: ˈθərzdi - purple: ˈpərpəl - surprise: səˈpraɪz - turtle: ˈtərtəl The word that differs from the others is surprise. So, the correct answer is C. surprise. Question 3: A. helped B. paper C. servant D. waiter All words (paper, servant, waiter) have the same stress pattern (ˈ), which is the main stress on the first syllable. However, the word helped has a different stress pattern (hɛlpt), which is no main stress on any syllable (or on the second syllable if you consider it). - helped: hɛlpt - paper: ˈpeɪpər - servant: ˈsərvənt - waiter: ˈweɪtər The word that differs from the others is helped. So, the correct answer is A. helped. Question 4: A. return B. curly C. curtain D. survive - return: rɪˈtərn (stress on the second syllable) - curly: ˈkərli (stress on the first syllable) - curtain: ˈkərtən (stress on the first syllable) - survive: sərˈvaɪv (stress on the second syllable) The words return and survive have stress on the second syllable, while curly and curtain have stress on the first syllable. However, we can notice another difference: the words return and survive have a vowel sound 'ɪ' and 'aɪ' in the stressed syllable, respectively, while curly and curtain have 'ər' and 'ərt' in the first syllable. The words curly and curtain have the same vowel sound 'ər' and 'ərt', while return has 'ɪ'. The word survive has the vowel sound 'aɪ' which differs from the 'ɪ' and 'ər', 'ərt'. However, the difference in stress pattern between return and the words curly and curtain is a stronger difference than the difference between return and survive. The word that differs from the others (curly and curtain) is return (the other words with the first syllable stress pattern). However, it would be more accurate to say that the correct answer is either return or survive (the words with the second syllable stress pattern). Among return and survive, return has 'ɪ' while curly has 'ər' and curtain has 'ərt'. Since the question is about the underlined part, the correct answer should be the one with the underlined part differing from the others. So the underlined part of the correct answer is either rɪ in return or ər in curly and ərt in curtain. Among these, rɪ in return has a stronger stress and a distinct pronunciation from ər and ərt in curly and curtain. So the correct answer is A. return. Question 5: A. spider B. concert C. letter D. farmer - spider: ˈspaɪdər (aɪ) - concert: ˈkɑnsərt (ɑ) - letter: ˈlɛtər (ɛ) - farmer: ˈfɑrmər (ɑ) The words concert and farmer have the same vowel sound 'ɑ', while spider has 'aɪ' and letter has 'ɛ'. The words that differ from the others (concert and farmer) are spider and letter. Among these two, spider and letter have distinct vowel sounds (aɪ and ɛ, respectively) differing from ɑ in concert and farmer. However, it would be more accurate to say that both spider and letter are correct. The question is about the underlined part, so the correct answer should be the one with the underlined part differing from the others. However, the other way of analyzing is that the correct answer should be the one that is the most different from the others (concert and farmer) (if they are the same). In this case, concert and farmer have 'ɑ', while spider has 'aɪ' and letter has 'ɛ'. Among spider and letter, spider has a diphthong 'aɪ' which is more different from 'ɑ' in concert and farmer, so spider's answer is more accurate in the sense of differing more than letter. However, it is worth noting that in the answers provided for the previous questions, if the other words had a distinct pattern (such as a distinct vowel sound or a distinct stress pattern) and one word had a different pattern (but still had some other word with a different but closer pattern), the word with a distinct pattern was chosen. In this case, the correct answer is B. concert or D. farmer (the words with 'ɑ') or A. spider and C. letter (the words without 'ɑ'). However, according to the format of the previous answers, if we should choose one word among spider and letter, the correct answer is A. spider. But in reality, all words except one pair of words can be correct (B, D) or (A, C). To provide an answer in the required format, A. spider
