The stressed syllable in the word "umbrella" is "um-BREL-la."
The stressed syllable in the word "homework" is "HOME-work."
The stressed syllable in the word "slowly" is "SLOW-ly."
The stressed syllable in the word "follow" is "FOL-low."
Therefore, the word "homework" has a stressed syllable that is different from the others.
To determine the stressed syllable in each word, we'll break down each word into syllables and identify which syllable receives the emphasis when pronouncing the word.
1. Umbrella: Um-brel-la. The stressed syllable is the second syllable, "brel."
2. Homework: Home-work. Both syllables in this word are equally stressed, so there isn't a syllable that stands out as being different.
3. Slowly: Slow-ly. The stressed syllable is the first syllable, "slow."
4. Follow: Fol-low. The stressed syllable is the first syllable, "fol."
From these four words, "homework" is the only word where both syllables are equally stressed. The other three words have a distinct syllable that receives more emphasis compared to the other syllables.
