For questions below, choose the option with the same emphatic stress pattern or that relates to the one in block letters.Boluwatife RAN home immediately after school.
Explanation
Capital letters show emphatic stress. In “Boluwatife RAN home”, the stress on RAN sets running against some other way of going home.
A matching question picks out that contrast: Did Boluwatife walk home immediately after school?
The other options stress a different part, such as the person or the place.
