Question 1 Report

Choose the option that has the same stress on the first syllable.
Answer Details
The option that has the same stress on the first syllable as "insult" (noun) is "provoke." Both "insult" and "provoke" are words that have the stress on the first syllable. In "insult," the stress falls on the first syllable, which is "in-," while in "provoke," the stress also falls on the first syllable, which is "pro-." The other options, "prepare" and "pronounce," have the stress on the second syllable. Note that "insult" can also be used as a verb, and in that case, the stress falls on the second syllable: in-SULT. But in the given question, "insult" is specified as a noun.
