The question demands that we should identify the word with a different stress pattern from the rest.
I will represent the options according to their stress patterns as follows:
success – sucCESS
suffer – SUffer
blackboard – BLACKboard
calendar – CAlendar
From the above, it is observed that suffer, blackboard and calendar all have their stress placed on the FIRST syllable while success has its stress placed on the second (last).
We can safely conclude that the answer should therefore be, without a doubt, option A.
Thank you.
the answer is 'success' even though 'suffer' is the only verb, there are exemptions
My school please the correct answer is "D"..
It has a diff stress pattern of 3 syllables
Am tired of wrong answers
Suffer is a verb
Success is a noun
Blackboard is the both
Calendar is the both
So the answer should be A
I thinksl its "calender" cos dey all have d /o/ as in (or) sound except calender.
