To determine the word with the underlined part that differs in pronunciation from the other three in each question, we need to analyze the given IPA notations.
1. A. focus: ˈfoʊkɪs
B. open: ˈoʊpən
C. chore: ʧɔr
D. impose: ɪmˈpoʊz
The underlined part is the beginning of each word. The words 'focus,' 'open,' and 'impose' all start with a similar sound, /oʊ/ (in 'focus' and 'open') and /ɪm/ followed by /poʊz/ (in 'impose'). However, 'chore' starts with /ʧɔr/, which is different from the other three. Therefore, the answer is C. chore.
2. A. restricted: riˈstrɪktɪd
B. obliged: əˈblaɪʤd
C. respected: rɪˈspɛktɪd
D. beloved: bɪˈləvəd
The underlined part is the beginning of each word. The words 'restricted,' 'respected,' and 'beloved' all start with a similar stress pattern and sound, /rɪ/ or /ri/, but 'obliged' starts with /ə/, which is a schwa sound (a neutral, unstressed sound). However, there is another difference in the stress pattern, /əˈblaɪʤd/ has an unstressed first syllable, while the others have a stressed first syllable or a slightly stressed syllable in 'beloved.' But the difference in the sound of the first syllable is the most prominent. However, we need to pay attention to the first syllable. 'restricted,' 'respected,' and 'beloved' start with the sound /r/ or /b/, while 'obliged' starts with /əb/. The words 'restricted,' 'respected,' have a similar sound, /rɪ/ but 'beloved' starts with /bɪ/, which is also different from /rɪ/ but also 'obliged' has /əb/. Therefore, the answer could be B or D depending on which one to choose that differs from the others, in this case 'obliged' and 'beloved' differ, the most appropriate answer would be D, beloved, but it can also be B or both.
Analyze:
'donate' stressed at first syllable
'compare' stressed at second syllable
'campaign' stressed at second syllable
'limit' stressed at first syllable
The words 'compare' and 'campaign' have stress at the second syllable. The words 'donate' and 'limit' have stress at the first syllable. Therefore, the two words 'compare' and 'campaign' have a different stress position to the other two words.
Answer: B and C
However, the format requires to select a single option.
Since the two words 'compare' and 'campaign' have the same stress position and both differ from the other two, we cannot directly select one. We will keep the format and select B as the representative of the correct answer group:
Answer: B

5. A. pedestrian zone
