Answer 2

A’fraid, Her’self, Sub’ject, De’termination, Pet’rol, Pho’to, Ab’surd, Ar’range, How’ever, E’lectrical. Primary stress in a word means the strongest accent in a word and it gives a final stressed syllable. For example, let’s take a word ‘’Afraid’’ and when we pronounce this word we are putting the more stress on ‘A’ and it is marked with a raised vertical line in a syllable. In language, stress or accent can be of two kind, first is primary stress and other is secondary stress.
