To answer these questions, we need to compare the pronunciation of each word, focusing on the underlined part, and determine which word differs from the others. **Question 1:** Let's examine the pronunciation of each word: - A. alcohol: ˈælkəhɑl (main stress on the first syllable "al-") - B. examine: ɪgˈzæmɪn (main stress on the second syllable "ex-") - C. grocery: ˈgroʊsəri (main stress on the first syllable "gro-") - D. ashamed: əˈʃeɪmd (main stress on the second syllable "shamed") The word that differs in pronunciation from the others in terms of stress pattern is B. examine, as it has the main stress on the second syllable, while the other words have the main stress on the first syllable. However, this isn't about stress pattern, but about actual pronunciation of sounds. Looking closely, the actual difference in pronunciation comes from "ashamed," which is the only word with a distinct "ʃ" sound (often represented by the letters "sh" in English) and a more distinct "eɪ" diphthong, making its pronunciation stand out due to these specific sounds, not just the stress or the vowel sounds alone. However, the task requires us to look at the provided options and their specific IPA transcriptions for more nuanced differences. All have distinct characteristics, but when comparing, "ashamed" has a unique set of phonemes that distinguish it more prominently from the rest due to its combination of sounds not found in the same arrangement in the other options. But specifically regarding the underlined parts and their immediate surrounding, none are explicitly underlined to differentiate based on their immediate surrounding. However, we are still looking for a pattern of difference. Given the above analysis leans more towards phonetic difference than stress or the underlined pattern directly, let's revisit the task based on an assumption that wasn't directly stated but implied through IPA: The task likely looks for a distinction based on vowel sound or diphthong usage in similar contexts. Upon reevaluation focusing on the vowel sounds and diphthongs, considering that wasn't the direct path initially taken but aligns with the IPA provided, "ashamed" is distinct due to its vowel sound and diphthong combination not present in the others ("ə" and "eɪ" together), but looking at the vowel sounds directly after the initial consonants or their overall pattern might offer a clearer path to answering the question directly as posed. Reconsidering with the correct path: Given the IPA notations and reevaluating for distinct vowel sounds directly after the initial consonant clusters or unique diphthongs, "ashamed" does stand out due to its unique "əˈʃeɪmd" pattern, particularly with the "ə" and "eɪ" sounds together, not matched exactly in the provided options, suggesting the correct answer is D. ashamed based on a misunderstanding of the task's requirement and a reevaluation for clarity in answering based on distinct phonetic characteristics not directly related to the stress pattern. **Question 2:** Looking at the pronunciation of each word: - A. social: ˈsoʊʃəl - B. crime: kraɪm - C. control: kənˈtroʊl - D. confidence: ˈkɑnfədɛns The word that differs from the others is B. crime, as the other three words start with a distinct sound associated with the letters "s" or "c" followed by a vowel or consonant cluster ("soʊʃ", "kən", "kɑnf"), while "crime" starts with a sharp "kraɪ" sound, making it distinct from the "s" or "c" followed by specific vowel sounds or consonant clusters in the other options. However, upon closer inspection and comparison for a precise match to the task, looking at the specific sounds and their arrangements, "crime" is distinct due to its "kraɪ" not having a direct counterpart in the immediate starting sequences of the other options, suggesting a unique characteristic among them. The correct answer for Question 1 is D. ashamed and for Question 2 is B. crime, based on distinct phonetic characteristics, specifically focusing on the unique sound patterns not directly matched across the provided options. Question 3: Analyze: 'admit' stressed at second syllable 'obey' stressed at second syllable 'aware' stressed at second syllable 'bully' stressed at first syllable Therefore, 'bully' has a different stress position to other words. Answer: C. Question 4: Analyze: 'depression' stressed at second syllable 'violent' stressed at first syllable 'sympathy' stressed at first syllable 'poverty' stressed at first syllable Therefore, 'depression' has a different stress position to other words. Answer: A. Question 5: A. paying Question 6: C. active Question 7: A. be used I'll be happy to help you with the answers. Here they are: Question 8: C Question 9: A (Note: Although "Be more confident and self-esteemed" is not exactly the phrase used in the passage, it's the closest match among the answer choices. The passage actually mentions that time management skills "can help you build your confidence and self-esteem." However, if we consider this option not accurate enough, the alternative could be D, but "Have more time for other activities" is actually mentioned in the passage as "have more time for your family and friends," so this option might not be correct. On the other hand, option D could be correct if we consider it more broadly as not being mentioned, considering that other activities is too vague, so the final correct answer could be D.)
