In the following options lettered A to D, all the words except on have the same stress pattern. identify the one with the different stress pattern.
Answer Details
The word that has a different stress pattern is "cartoon."
In the other three words (cargo, cater, cover), the stress falls on the first syllable, while in "cartoon," the stress falls on the second syllable.
To clarify, the stress pattern for each of the words is as follows:
- CAR-go
- CA-ter
- CO-ver
- car-TOON
So, while the first three words all have stress on the first syllable, "cartoon" has stress on the second syllable, making it the odd one out.
