In each of the following sentences, the word that receives the emphatic stress is written in capital letters . From the options lettered A to D, choose the one which the sentence is the appropriate answer: Lambusa TOOK OFF the wig.
Explanation
Emphatic stress shows the new or important information. Here “TOOK OFF” is stressed, so the focus is on the action.
The question that fits is “What did Lambusa do?”, because the answer is the action: took off the wig.
“Who took off the wig?” would stress “Lambusa”. The questions about a wig or a ring would stress “wig”.
