Zorluk: OrtaEmphatic Stress

Fill in the blank with an appropriate word to complete the contrastive question that elicits the emphatic stress in the given statement.

Cevap:Statement: The skilled PILOT safely landed the commercial aircraft during the storm.
Contrastive question: Did the skilled 【driver】 safely land the commercial aircraft during the storm?

Cevap

A contrasting profession noun (such as 'driver' or 'captain') that directly challenges the capitalized word 'PILOT'.
In English emphatic stress rules, the correct contrastive question replaces only the capitalized word ('PILOT') with a contrasting word of the same word class (e.g., 'driver' or 'captain'), maintaining the exact same structure for the uncapitalized elements.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the word carrying emphatic stress in the statement.
The word 'PILOT' is written in capital letters, indicating emphatic stress.
Emphatic stress highlights the specific item in the sentence that receives contrastive focus.
2
Determine the required contrastive substitution to form the correct question.
The subject 'PILOT' must be replaced with a contrasting subject/profession, while all other words remain identical.
The correct question to elicit emphatic stress must query only the stressed element and keep the rest of the sentence unchanged.
