Choose the word that has a different stress pattern.

  1. calender ✓
  2. aloud
  3. mechanic
  4. convivial
Explanation

calender is stressed on the first syllable: CAL-en-der.

The other three are stressed on the second syllable: a-LOUD, me-CHAN-ic, con-VIV-i-al.

So calender is the odd one out.
