The word in capital letters has emphatic stress. Choose the option that best fits the expression in the sentence.
My uncle retired from the POLICE?
- Did your brother resign from the police?
- Did your sister resign from the police?
-
Did your uncle retire from the army?
- Did your brother retire from the police?
The correct answer is: C
Explanation
Emphatic stress places greater stress on a particular word or phrase in a sentence or utterance. In this case, the stress is placed on the word "POLICE". The rule for empathic stress questions is to select the question that has a word that is different from the emphasized word or word in capital letters. Option C does not have "police" in it. Rather, it has "army". Therefore, option C is the answer to this question.
