Zorluk: OrtaEmphatic Stress

Determine the appropriate word to complete the question that tests the emphatic stress in the given sentence.

Cevap:Given sentence: 'The ARCHITECT designed the new museum in Abuja.'
Contrastive question: 'Did the 【engineer】 design the new museum in Abuja?'

Cevap

A contrasting noun representing a different profession (such as 'engineer', 'builder', or 'contractor') that substitutes the capitalized subject 'ARCHITECT' while leaving the rest of the sentence unchanged.
Emphatic stress focuses prominence on the capitalized word 'ARCHITECT'. To test or respond to emphatic stress correctly, the matching question must replace only the capitalized word with a contrasting noun (such as 'engineer' or 'builder') while leaving the rest of the sentence structure completely unchanged.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the word bearing emphatic stress in the sentence.
The word 'ARCHITECT' is in capital letters, indicating that emphatic stress (contrastive focus) is placed on the subject of the sentence.
Emphatic stress highlights a specific piece of information to contrast it with alternative possibilities.
2
Formulate a question that directly tests or questions the stressed word.
The question must keep all uncapitalized words intact ('design the new museum in Abuja') and replace only 'ARCHITECT' with a contrasting noun.
A correct question eliciting emphatic stress contradicts only the stressed item and preserves the rest of the context.
