In this question, the word in capital letters has the emphatic stress. Choose the option to which the given sentence relates. EMEKA finished his home work yesterday.

  1. Did Emeka do his home work yesterday?
  2. When did Emeka finish his home work?
  3. Who finished his home work yesterday? ✓
  4. Was Emeka helped to do his home work?
Explanation

The stress falls on “EMEKA”, so the new information is the person who did the action.

The question this answers is “Who finished his homework yesterday?”

“When did Emeka finish…?” would need stress on “yesterday”. “Did Emeka do his homework yesterday?” would stress the verb.
