Question 1 Report

Identify the one with the different stress pattern

Answer Details
The word with a different stress pattern among the given options is "credit." The stress pattern of the first three words, "neglect," "direct," and "respond," is on the second syllable, which is pronounced louder and longer than the other syllables. For example, "NE-glect," "di-RECT," and "re-SPOND." In contrast, the stress pattern of "credit" is on the first syllable, which is pronounced louder and longer than the other syllables. The word "CRED-it" has the stress on the first syllable, unlike the other words in the group that have the stress on the second syllable. Therefore, "credit" has a different stress pattern compared to the other words in the group.
