To determine the appropriate stress pattern for the word "impossible," we can break it down into its syllables and analyze the stress patterns within each syllable.
The word "impossible" consists of four syllables: "im-pos-si-ble."
In English, stress patterns tend to follow certain rules. One rule is that most two-syllable words have stress on the first syllable. However, for words with three or more syllables, the stress often falls on the third-to-last syllable.
Applying this rule to "impossible," we can identify that the stress falls on the third syllable, "si."
Therefore, the appropriate stress pattern for the word "impossible" is: im-POS-si-ble.
