Assessment: WAEC SSCE - English Language - 2020 (Objective) Subject: English Language

Question 1 Report

From the words lettered A to D, choose the one that has the correct stress.

overwhelming

Answer Details
The correct stress in the word "overwhelming" is on the third syllable, "WHELM." This is because the stress in English words usually falls on the syllable that is pronounced with more emphasis or force. In this word, the third syllable is pronounced with greater stress than the other syllables, making the correct pronunciation "o-ver-WHELM-ing."
