To determine which word has an underlined part that differs from the others, we need to analyze the pronunciation of each word, focusing on the stressed syllable and the sounds.
1. A. permitted: pərˈmɪtɪd
B. wanted: ˈwɔntɪd
C. stopped: stɑpt
D. needed: ˈnidɪd
The words "permitted", "wanted", and "needed" have the stress on the second syllable, while "stopped" has no stress mark, indicating that the stress pattern differs.
Answer: C
2. A. cooked: kʊkt
B. played: pleɪd
C. claimed: kleɪmd
D. favoured: favoured*
The words "cooked", "played", and "claimed" all end with the "d" sound, but "favoured" is missing its pronunciation. However, typically, "favoured" would be pronounced as /ˈfeɪvərd/ or /ˈfævərd/, which also ends with the "d" sound. On the other hand, the words "cooked", "played", and "claimed" do not have a stress mark, while "favoured" typically does. However, another difference can be found among "cooked", "played", and "claimed". The words "played" and "claimed" both have the "eɪ" diphthong sound, whereas "cooked" has the "ʊ" sound.
Answer: A
3. A. walked: wɔkt
B. travelled: ˈtrævəld
C. enjoyed: ɛnˈʤɔɪd
D. studied: ˈstədid
The words "walked", "travelled", and "studied" have the "d" or "ld" sound at the end, while "enjoyed" has the "d" sound at the end, but with a different vowel sound and stress pattern. The words "travelled", "enjoyed", and "studied" all have the stress on the first or second syllable, while "walked" has no stress mark.
Answer: A
4. A. worded: ˈwərdɪd
B. wanted: ˈwɔntɪd
C. stopped: stɑpt
D. asked: æst
The words "worded", "wanted", and "stopped" all have the "d" or "t" sound at the end, while "asked" has the "t" sound at the end, but with a different vowel sound and stress pattern. However, another difference is more prominent: the words "worded" and "wanted" both have the stress on the first syllable, while "stopped" has no stress mark, and "asked" has a different vowel sound.
Answer: D
5. A. arrived: əraɪvd
B. believed: bɪˈlivd
C. received: rɪˈsivd
D. hoped: hoʊpt
The words "arrived", "believed", and "received" all have the "d" sound at the end (the "d" is silent in "arrived" but present in the pronunciation), while "hoped" has the "pt" sound at the end, with a different vowel sound.
