Question

Accepted Answer

Question 1: 
Analyze: 'schools' stressed at first syllable
'yards' stressed at first syllable
'labs' stressed at first syllable
'seats' stressed at first syllable
All four options are stressed at the first syllable. But the underlined part 'oo' of schools is a diphthong while 'a' of yards, 'a' of labs, and 'ea' of seats are monophthongs. Therefore, 'oo' is different from the other three.
Answer: A. schools

Question 2: 
Analyze: 'rapid' stressed at first syllable
'urban' stressed at first syllable
'landfill' stressed at first syllable
'apple' stressed at first syllable
All four options are stressed at the first syllable. But the underlined part 'ap' of rapid, 'ur' of urban, 'land' of landfill are stressed at the first syllable with one syllable before and 'ap' of apple is stressed at the first syllable with no syllable before. Therefore, 'ap', 'ur', 'land' are different from 'ap'. However, since we only choose one word, we will have to consider another differentiator. The underlined part 'ur' of urban is different from the other three in pronunciation.
Answer: B. urban

Question 3: 
Analyze: 'country' stressed at first syllable
