Choose the option that has the same stress pattern as the given word. Student

  1. Superb
  2. Propose
  3. Rebel(V)
  4. Refuse(N) ✓
Explanation

“Student” is stressed on the first syllable: STU-dent.

“Refuse” as a noun (rubbish) is also stressed on the first syllable: REF-use. That matches.

“Superb” (su-PERB) and “propose” (pro-POSE) are stressed on the second syllable. “Rebel” as a verb (re-BEL) is also stressed on the second syllable. Only the noun “rebel” would carry first-syllable stress.
