Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the word carrying emphatic stress in the sentence.
The word printed in capital letters is 'RIGOROUSLY', indicating contrastive emphasis on the manner in which the action was performed.
Emphatic stress is used to highlight or correct a specific element of a sentence during dialogue.
2
Select the question that contradicts ONLY the capitalized word while retaining all other sentence components.
The query asking if the scientist 'carelessly' tested the samples directly contrasts 'RIGOROUSLY' without altering the subject, action, or object.
In standard JAMB UTME emphatic stress items, the correct eliciting question differs strictly at the point of emphasis.
