Question

ON which syllable does the primary stress fall in the word " institution"

• A. 1
• B. 2
• C. 3
• D. 4

Answer 1

Answer:

C. 3

The word institution is pronounced as:

in-sti-TU-tion /ˌɪn.stɪˈtʃuː.ʃən/

It has four syllables:

1. in

2. sti

3. tu ← primary stress

4. tion

So, technically, the primary stress falls on the 3rd syllable
