stress levels are n the rising in students write a speech to be addressedto studentsof your school on how they can combat stress in their lives

Answer 1

Some languages have stresses placed relative to the end of the word, or relative to the beginning. English stress, to the extent it has a regular system, is placed relative to the end of a word. Both your examples have (or at least had) stress on the third syllable from the end of the word -- EL-e-phant, co-a-LI-ti-on. The latter example however has lost a syllable -ti- due to historical sound change, so in contemporary pronunciation, the LI stress winds up on only the second syllable from the end.

The Sound Pattern of English by Chomsky and Halle has a thorough-going but disputed analysis of English stress.
