1. A. loved B. wanted C. wasted D. texted The answer is A. loved. The words "wanted", "wasted", and "texted" have the "ˈ" sign, which means the stress is on the first syllable. On the other hand, "loved" does not have this stress marker, so it is pronounced differently. 2. A. added B. painted C. tried D. posted The answer is C. tried. The words "added", "painted", and "posted" all have the "ˈ" sign, but "tried" does not. The lack of this stress marker means "tried" is pronounced differently. 3. A. washed B. dressed C. lived D. turned The answer is B. dressed. The words "washed", "lived", and "turned" all have their stress on the second syllable (there is no stress marker for the first syllable), whereas "dressed" has an even stress pattern on both syllables. 4. A. played B. stopped C. dreamed D. planned The answer is B. stopped. The words "played", "dreamed", and "planned" have their stress on the first syllable, but "stopped" has its stress on the first syllable as well, so we need to look closer. The difference lies in the vowel sound, the "a" in "stopped" (stɑpt) is pronounced more like a schwa, whereas in the other options it is a pure vowel. After reevaluating, we see "dreamed" actually has a different vowel sound (drimd vs the others have the long "a" sound in played and planned, and stopped's is close to schwa). The answer is C. dreamed. 5. A. wished B. handed C. wanted D. needed The answer is A. wished. The words "handed", "wanted", and "needed" all have the "ˈ" sign, and "wished" does not. However, looking closer at the notation, "wished" has "wɪʃt" where the others have ɪd at the end, but looking at "wished", the different lies in the vowel, as "wished" has "ɪ" (close to i) where the others have "ɔ", "eɪ", and "i" in wanted, handed, and needed respectively. Upon reevaluation, we realize the question asks for different pronunciation in the underlined part, in the case of "wished", the difference is not just in the first syllable. The actual difference is in the "d" part in wished vs "ɪd" in the rest. Here are the completed sentences and the correct options: a. Complete the sentences using the words or phrases in the box. 1.
