Accepted Answer

I&#x27;ll provide the answers for each section.

I. Choose the word that has underlined part pronounced differently from the others
1. A. gym - The underlined part "g" in the other options (ginger, giraffe, gong) has a "soft g" sound (/ʤ/ or /ʒ/), while in "gym" it has a hard "g" sound (/ɡ/). 
   So, the correct answer is A. gym.

2. A. statue - The underlined part is the first syllable stress, not applicable here. This seems to be a misplaced question. However, considering the context of word sounds, all options seem different. 
   If to choose one that has a distinct different sound, I&#x27;ll choose A. statue as the best answer in this context.

II. Choose the word whose main stressed syllable is placed differently from that of the other
1. A. festival - The main stressed syllable for the other options is the second syllable (suitable - /suːˈteɪbəl/, behaviour - /bɪˈheɪvjər/, practical - /ˈpræktɪkəl/). For festival, the main stressed syllable is the first syllable (/ˈfɛs.tɪ.vəl/). 
   So, the correct answer is A. festival.

2. A. question - The main stressed syllable for the other options is the second syllable (tradition - /trəˈdɪʃən/, generation - /ˌʤɛn.əˈreɪ.ʃən/, fiction - /ˈfɪk.ʃən/). For question, the main stressed syllable is the second syllable as well (/ˈkwestʃən/), however another word has first syllable stressed as well (/ˈkwɛstʃən/). I&#x27;ll still choose A. question as the best answer in this context.

III. Mark letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct word or phrase to complete each of the following sentences
1. Children nowadays have more freedom to pursue their interests.
   So, the correct answer is D. pursue.

2. Traditionally, farmers used buffalo-driven carts to transport agricultural products.
   So, the correct answer is C. Traditionally.

3. We went to the airport before the rush hour to avoid getting stuck in traffic jam.
   So, the correct answer is A. in.

4. A: I&#x27;m sorry, Mum. I haven&#x27;t cooked dinner. B: That&#x27;s alright. You can do it now.
   So, the correct answer is B. That&#x27;s alright.

5. Do you ever wish you could go to England for higher education?
   So, the correct answer is B. could.

6. It was so nice to catch up with my old friend face to face after all these years of just chatting online.
   So, the correct answer is B. in person.
