The word in capital letters has the emphatic stress. Choose the option to which the given stress relates.
My mother is expected to be back by this time TOMORROW.
Emphatic stress is the placement of greater stress on a particular word in an utterance. This is done for clarification or emphasis. The emphasis on "TOMORROW" in the sentence highlights the specific time frame being discussed. The contrast implied by the emphasis is between "tomorrow" and another time frame, such as "next month." This makes option B the most logical choice, as it contrasts "tomorrow" with "next month."
