Question

Accepted Answer

To determine the word with the underlined part pronounced differently, let's analyze the pronunciation of each word, focusing on the underlined parts (the 'o' sound in this case, but we'll also look at similar sounds).

Question 1:
- A. home: hoʊm
- B. shopping: ˈʃɑpɪŋ (Here, the underlined part is not an 'o' sound, but an 'ɑ' which sounds like the 'a' in 'car')
- C. comb: koʊm
- D. locate: ˈloʊkeɪt

In this case, B. shopping has the underlined part pronounced differently from the others (A, C, D) because it doesn't have the 'oʊ' sound like 'home', 'comb', and 'locate'.

Question 2:
- A. coast: koʊst
- B. upload: ˈəploʊd
- C. abroad: əˈbrɔd (Here, the underlined part is not the 'oʊ' sound but a 'ɔ' sound which is more open and rounded)
- D. roadside: ˈroʊdsaɪd

In this case, C. abroad has the underlined part pronounced differently from the others (A, B, D) because it has a 'ɔ' sound, which differs from the 'oʊ' sound in 'coast', 'upload', and 'roadside'.

So, the answers are: 
1. B. shopping 
2. C. abroad

Analyze: 
'tourist' stressed at first syllable
'suburb' stressed at first syllable
'metro' stressed at first syllable
'outdoors' stressed at first syllable
All words are stressed at first syllable.

Answer: There is no answer to this question since all the options have the same stress position.

Analyze: 
'priority' stressed at second syllable
'competition' stressed at third syllable
'electrician' stressed at third syllable
'entertainment' stressed at third syllable
'priority' is the only word stressed at the second syllable, the other three options are stressed at the third syllable.

Answer: A. priority
