Emphatic stress is the placement of greater stress on a particular word or syllable in an utterance. This is done for emphasis or clarification. Stress is placed on the ONLY in the response given because it is meant to clarify an error made by the person who asked the question. The person had assumed that the person being discussed had travelled "more than" 20 kilometres before his car stopped, but he had actually travelled "only" 20 kilometres. Q: Did he travel more than 20 kilometres before his car stopped? A: No. He travelled ONLY 20 kilometres before his car stopped.

Emphatic stress is the placement of greater stress on a particular word or phrase in a sentence. The rule of emphatic stress states that the stress should be placed on the question that has a word/phrase that is different from the word/phrase in capital letters. In this case, the question: "DId the king walk to the palace?" has the word "walk" which is different from the emphasized word in the sentence (RUN).

In answering questions on emphatic stress, the correct answer is usually the one that contradicts the statement. option A clearly state the newspaper was bought by the man option B has emphasis on the word read option C has its emphasis on the person who bought the paper option D has its emphatic stress on what was bought (newspaper). All the options except B has the emphasis of buying the newspaper. Therefore option B best explains the above statement.

The interrogative sentence that contradicts the emphasised word is the correct option. example. John’s watch is made of GOLD. The emphatic stress is on the word ‘gold’ Option: (a) Is John’s watch made of silver? (b) Whose watch is made of gold? (c) What is made of gold? (d) Is John’s necklace made of gold? Option [A] is the correct answer because the word ‘silver’ contradicts the word ‘gold’ and the interrogative statement provides a chance to re-emphasise the word ‘gold’. Is John’s watch made of silver? No, it is not made of silver; it’s made of GOLD.

The sentence describes rules that are difficult to understand or navigate, which suggests they are complex and detailed. The best word to describe such rules is "intricate."

A. successful / declared for: This option doesn't fit the context. The party is not looking "successful" due to members joining other parties, and "declared for" doesn't convey the idea of leaving the party. B. vulnerable / defected to: This option fits the context well. The party looks "vulnerable" (in a weakened position) because many of its members have "defected to" other parties, indicating a loss of support. C. cheerful / moved to: This option doesn't accurately convey the negative aspect of members leaving the party. "Cheerful" and "moved to" suggest a positive or neutral change, which is not consistent with the situation described. D. cheerless / cross-carpeted from: "Cheerless" does convey a negative tone, but "cross-carpeted from" is not a common expression. "Defected to" is a more appropriate phrase to use in this context. Therefore, option B is the most suitable choice as it effectively captures the idea that the party is vulnerable because its members have defected to other parties.

The phrase "The future of the company is..." sets the tone for the statement about the company's outlook. The term "rosy" means promising, bright, or optimistic. Therefore, the first part of the sentence suggests a positive outlook. The second part of the sentence, "though many seem... about it," indicates that there are individuals who feel a certain way about the future. The term "pessimistic" means having a negative outlook or expecting the worst. So, the complete sentence would read: "The future of the company is rosy, though many seem pessimistic about it." The contrasting words "rosy" and "pessimistic" highlight the different perspectives on the company's future.

The sentence refers to a point in the future (next year), and the structure "By this time next year" indicates a future perfect tense. The future perfect tense is used to describe an action that will be completed at some point in the future. "Will have been" is the correct form here because it expresses that, by a certain future time, the action of turning twenty years old will have been completed. So the sentence would be: By this time next year, I will have been twenty years old.
