Here is an explanation:
Just as the name of d stress, 'emphatic stress', it means it is emphasizing on a word. The word dat was underlind in d question was my uncle, derefore a person wil be prompted to emphasize on d uncle when u mention somefin different 4rm'uncle', so d answa shud involve brother. Bt u dnt change any oda word apart 4rm d undalind word, so retire remains nd nt resigns. Hence, D is the answa
REF: Newconcept english
The structure of the question is wrong because police not uncle is meant to be the emphatic stress. So the answer is 'D'. Also if you look closely, you will observe that sister is also in the option and is in contrast to the emphatic stress;uncle, given in the question. So the ewhole summary of thus is that the question in itself is wrong.
D ansa should have been C bt uncle was the emphatic stress nt retire nor resign .... So d ansa is D cus it makes u reply easily dat "no ,its my uncle that retired"
The answer is actually 'D' because in emphatic stress, the question which the statement best answers must have a contrast of the stressed word(s) that is the one written in capital letters.. And in this case, the only answer which has the other words except uncle is option 'D'
When you read the instruction,it says“The word in capital letters has the emphatic stress.
Choose the option that best fits the expression in the
sentence”.Emphasis is created only on Uncle and you can't replace a male with a female.
So D is absolutely correct. In emphatic stress,you look for the opposite of the word in capital letter without changing other words.
the emphatic stress is UNCLE so u ar only ask to change that uncle alone nt al the sentence, so BROTHER is ans . so D is the ryt answer
d answer is c did your uncle retire from d army ;no my uncle retire from d police
Here is the correct explanation:
the answer seem so wrong,retire,uncle and police were mentioned in the sentence,resign wasnt there,brother wasnt too,the question is really somehow,i need explanation
