In each of the questions, the word in capital letters has the emphatic stress. Choose the option to which the given sentence relates.A good description INCLUDES specific nouns.
Explanation
The stressed word, “INCLUDES”, is the point being stressed. The stress tells us the verb is the focus of the sentence.
The matching question is the one that tests this verb with its opposite: “Does a good description exclude specific nouns?” The answer to it is “No, it includes them.”
Questions that change “nouns” or “good” would need the stress on those words instead.
