Answer 2

Answer:

Word stress also called as lexical stress, refers to the emphasis made on a specific syllable in a word as in the case of multi-syllable words. The use of word stress helps in understanding the proper pronunciation of the words.

Word stress is indicated by separating the syllable with a dot (.) which is referred to as interpunct. The stress is categorized as primary stress and secondary stress.

1. Primary stress - The syllable that is vocally emphasised than any other syllable.
2. Secondary stress - The syllables are more emphatic than unstressed syllables but are less stressed than the primary stress.

The word stress for the words is given below where the primary stress is made bold and the secondary stress is in italics:

1. key.stone
2. ac.a.dem.ic
3. one
4. thou.sand
5. re.ac.tion
