Question 1 Report

Identify the one with the different stress pattern

Answer Details
The word that has a different stress pattern from the others is "umbrella." In "challenger," "solicit," and "apprentice," the stress is on the second-to-last syllable of the word. However, in "umbrella," the stress is on the third-to-last syllable instead of the second-to-last. Therefore, "umbrella" has a different stress pattern than the other words. The stress pattern of a word refers to the emphasis placed on different syllables of the word when it is spoken. The correct answer is "umbrella."
