Question 45: Mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the word that followingprimary from the other three in the position of the questions stress in each of the questions:

Rule of stress: Verbs with two syllables usually have stress on the second syllable.

Exception: Two-syllable verbs with the second syllable “er, en, ish, age, ow” often have stress on the first syllable.

Example: enter, open, manage, happen, answer, listen, finish, study, offer, damage,… appear /əˈpɪə(r)/ reply /rɪˈplaɪ/

protect /prəˈtekt/ order /ˈɔːdə(r)/

The stress of sentence D falls on the first syllable, the rest on the second.
