The words in capital letters have the emphatic stress. Choose the options to which the given sentences relate.
Mary OFTEN visits the orphanage since her arrival.

  1. Does mary often visit the hostel since her arrival?
  2. Does mary seldom visit the orphanage since her arrival? ✓
  3. Does Dammy often visit the orphanage since her arrival?
  4. Does many often visit the orphanage since her departure?
Explanation

The stress on OFTEN means the frequency is the point. The sentence corrects a question that gave the wrong frequency.

“Does Mary seldom visit the orphanage since her arrival?” changes only that word (seldom instead of often). The other options change the place, the person or the time, which carry no stress.
