Which syllable is stressed?
To determine the syllable stress in each of the given words, we need to analyze their pronunciation. Here's how you can figure it out:
A. Obtain - You can listen to the word and break it down into syllables: o-b-tain. By stressing the word, you'll notice that the emphasis is on the second syllable, 'tain'. Therefore, the stress is on the second syllable.
B. follow - my answer - Similar to the previous word, you can divide it into syllables: fol-low. The stress is on the first syllable, 'fol'.
C. detest - By dividing the word into syllables, you get: de-test. The stress in this word falls on the second syllable, 'test'.
D. Renew - Breaking it down into syllables, you have: re-new. The stress is on the first syllable, 're'.
So, the words with syllable stress are A. Obtain (second syllable 'tain') and D. Renew (first syllable 're').
