Question

In a word, a syllable is uttered with a force because of

• A. Juncture
• B. Stress
• C. Intonation
• D. Tone

Answer 1

Answer:

B. Stress

Stress refers to the degree of force applied when pronouncing a syllable, making it stand out more prominently in a word. 

• a) Juncture:

  Juncture refers to the way words and phrases are joined together in speech, not the force with which a single syllable is uttered. 

• c) Intonation:

  Intonation refers to the pitch of the voice when speaking, which can convey different emotions or meanings, but not the force behind a syllable. 

• d) Tone:

  Tone can refer to the pitch of a voice in a broader sense, similar to intonation, or the specific pitch pattern of a language, but not the force of a syllable.
