Question on: JAMB English - 2023
Â
The words in capital letter have the emphatic stress. Choose the options to which the given sentences relate.
I bought my WIFE a red dress
Did I buy my husband a red dress?
Did I buy my wife a red shoe?
Did he buy my wife a red dress?
Did I buy my wife a black dress?
The emphatic stress on "WIFE" implies that the focus of the question is on who received the dress. The original sentence states, "I bought my WIFE a red dress." Therefore, the related question should also focus on the recipient of the dress.
Option A is incorrect because the original sentence refers to 'wife', not 'husband'.
Option B is incorrect because the original sentence mentions a 'red dress', not a 'red shoe'.
Option C is incorrect because the original sentence uses 'I', not 'he'.
Option D is correct because it asks about the dress color, which is emphasized in the original question.
