1. The answer is: b. indecisive. - The other three words, emotion, obesity, and believable, all end in -ion, -ity, or -ion with the stress pattern on the syllable preceding the suffix. However, indecisive has the stress on the syllable that ends with the "sive" sound. However, looking at the specific sound that is underlined, i.e. the last syllable of the word, we have: emotion: /ˈimoʊʃən/ with "ˈimoʊʃən" ending in ən indecisive: /ɪndɪˈsaɪsɪv/ with "ɪv" ending in /ɪv/ obesity: /əˈbisəti/ with "əti" ending in /əti/ believable: /bəˈlivəbəl/ with "əbəl" ending in /əbəl/ The answer is b. indecisive because it's the only one ending with /ɪv/ 2. The answer is: d. anger. - The other three words, hanging, belong, and singer, all end in -ing, -ong, and -ing with the "i" or "o" being pronounced as /ɪ/ or /ɔ/. However, anger has the stress on the syllable and the "er" is pronounced as /ær/. 3. The answer is: c. entertained. - The other three words, behaved, passed, and changed, all end in -ed with the stress on the previous syllable. However, entertained has the stress on the syllable preceding the suffix "-ained" which sounds different from "-ed". 4. The answer is: c. language. - The other three words, imagination, average, and appearance, all have a stress pattern where the stress is on a syllable not immediately adjacent to the suffix or the suffix does not affect the stress pattern. However, language has the stress on the first syllable and the rest of the word ends with "-guage". 5. The answer is: d. promise. - The other three words, increase, surprise, and release, all have the stress on the second syllable. However, promise has the stress on the first syllable. Another approach is to examine the IPA notation for the ending of the words. 1. The answer is: b. indecisive. The words emotion, obesity, and believable end in ən, əti, and əbəl. The word indecisive ends in ɪv. 2. The answer is: d. anger. The words hanging, belong, and singer end in ɪŋ, ɔŋ, and ər, and have the respective sounds for "ing" "ong" and "er". The word anger also ends in ər, but the "a" has a different sound /æ/ than the other words. 3. The answer is: c. entertained and also passed. The words behaved, entertained, and changed end in eɪvd, teɪnd, and eɪnʤd. However, passed ends in a st. This has a different sound than the -ed of behaved, and the -ained and -anged of entertained and changed. 4. The answer is: a. imagination and also average. The words imagination, average, language, and appearance end in ˈneɪʃən, ɪʤ, gwɪʤ, and ˈpɪrəns. Imagination has a different sound from the other words. Average has a different sound /ɪʤ/ than the other words. 5. The answer is: c. release and also d. promise. The words increase, surprise, release, and promise end in kris, praɪz, lis, and prɑməs. Release and promise have a different sound /lis/ and /prɑməs/ than the other words. I'll analyze each question and provide the answer in the requested format. **Question 1** 1. a. worthwhile, b. royal, c. habit, d. practice Analyze: All four words ('worthwhile', 'royal', 'habit', 'practice') have the main stress placed at the first syllable. Answer: None of the options have a different stress position, but this is not a viable answer choice, so we can't answer this one. **Question 2** 2. a. obese, b. dogsled, c. extend, d. remote Analyze: 'obese' has the main stress at the second syllable, while 'extend' and 'remote' also have the main stress at the second syllable. 'dogsled' cannot be found in dictionary. Answer: A. obese (has the same stress position as the other options that could be found, so this answer isn't great, but...) No, wait, this question has only one viable answer choice that works: 'obese' has the same stress position as 'extend' and 'remote'. 'Worthwhile', 'royal', 'habit', and 'practice' have the main stress at the first syllable, therefore, the answer is the word in the question set with first syllable stress that isn't an option here: if we had 'worthwhile' here the answer would be 'worthwhile'. The answer can't be picked from this question set. **Question 3** 3. a. household, b. suppose, c. Arctic, d. diet Analyze: 'household', 'Arctic', and 'diet' have the main stress placed at the first syllable, while 'suppose' has the main stress placed at the second syllable. Answer: B. suppose **Question 4** 4. a. transformation, b. independence, c. understanding, d. illiterate Analyze: 'transformation', 'independence', and 'understanding' have the main stress placed at the third syllable, while 'illiterate' has the main stress placed at the second syllable. Answer: D. illiterate **Question 5** 5. a. uncontrollable, b. biological, c. particularly, d. seniority Analyze: 'uncontrollable' and 'biological' have the main stress placed at the third syllable, while 'particularly' and 'seniority' have the main stress placed at the second syllable. Answer: A. uncontrollable Here are the answers: 1. a. with 2. c. to 3. d. face to face 4. b. served 5. b. cuisine 6. a. well-preserved 7. a. was 8. a. were you doing 9. d. alive 10. c.
