1. A. paintings: ˈpeɪnɪŋz (stress on the first syllable)
B. symbols: ˈsɪmbəlz (stress on the first syllable)
The pattern is: stress on the first syllable
Therefore, the next word would also have the stress on the first syllable, which is "parents": ˈpɛrənts.
Answer: C. parents.
2. B. loved: ləvd (stress on the second syllable, but "loved" only has one syllable in the word itself, and one in the pronunciation, but the stress is in the second syllable in the whole pattern, so we should not choose this)
D. played: pleɪd (stress on the first syllable)
A. admired: ədˈmaɪərd (stress on the second syllable)
B. talked: tɔkt (stress on the first syllable)
The pattern is: first syllable, second syllable, first syllable, second syllable.
Therefore, the next word would have the stress on the second syllable. The only word with the stress on the second syllable is "admired", but this is the same as option 2, so the answer must be another word.
Answer: D. played does not match the pattern, so let's check the other options for question 3.
C. arrived: əraɪvd (stress on the second syllable), this matches the pattern.
3. B. mentioned: ˈmɛnʃənd (stress on the first syllable)
A. ended: ˈɛndɪd (stress on the first syllable)
The pattern is: stress on the first syllable
Therefore, the next word would also have the stress on the first syllable, which is not "mentioned", "ended" or "church".
Answer: B. christmas: ˈkrɪsməs or B. charity: ˈʧɛrɪti.
Only B. christmas does not have an alternative match with another letter.
4. Answer: A. catch
