MARK THE stress of the words

Answers
Explanation:
English words can only have one dominant stressed syllable (a syllable is a fragment of a word as it is spoken audibly). If a word has more than one dominant stress then it is a hybrid word. Hybrid words become 'proper' words when it has been established where the dominant stress goes. For example, Sat-Nav is usually said (in the everyday language) with the stress on the first syllable 'Sat'.
Ex-am-ine has 3 syllables and the 2nd is the stressed one ('ex' is a prefix).
Ex-am-in-a-tion has 5 syllables and the 4th one (penultimate one) is the stressed one ('tion' is a suffix).
Ac-a-dem-ic has 4 syllables and the 3rd one (penultimate one) is the stressed one ('ic' is a suffix).
Ac-a-dem-i-cian has 5 syllables and the 4th one (penultimate one) is the stressed one ('cian' is a suffix).
Fa-vour-ite has 3 syllables and the 1st is the stressed one (the typical pattern for most words).
Fa-vor-i-tis-m has 5 syllables and the 1st is the stressed one (this is typical for words ending in 'ism' unless they have suffices, eg 'multi-cuturalism', which in any case is hyphenated so isn't strictly one word but two).
Ex-hi-bit has 3 syllables and the 2nd is the stressed one (again, 'ex' is a prefix).
Ex-hi-bi-tion has 4 syllables and the 3rd (penultimate one) is the stressed one ('tion' is a suffix, and the same pattern applies as for 'ex-am-ine' and 'ex-am-in-a-tion').
Go-vern has 2 syllables and the 1st is the stressed one (the typical pattern for most words).
Go-vern-ment has 3 syllables and the 1st is the stressed one (although 'ment' is a suffix it does not affect the position of the stress of a word).
