Exercise 1: Choose the word that has underlined part pronounced differently from the rest

We are to identify which word has a different pronunciation for the underlined part. Since the image doesn't show underlining, we’ll assume based on typical English pronunciation patterns.

#### 1. A. ethnic B. unique C. basic D. diverse
- Focus on the "e" or "u" sound in these words.
- Let’s look at the "e" in "ethnic", "unique", "basic", "diverse":
- ethnic – /ˈɛθ.nɪk/ → "e" is pronounced like /ɛ/
- unique – /juːˈniːk/ → "u" is pronounced like /juː/
- basic – /ˈbeɪ.sɪk/ → "a" is pronounced like /eɪ/
- diverse – /dɪˈvɜːrs/ → "e" is pronounced like /ɜːr/

But wait — if the underlined part is the "i" or "e", let’s reconsider:

Actually, common questions like this focus on "i" or "e" sounds.

Wait — perhaps the underlined parts are the "i" in:
- ethnic → /ˈɛθ.nɪk/ → "i" = /ɪ/
- unique → /juːˈniːk/ → "i" = /iː/
- basic → /ˈbeɪ.sɪk/ → "i" = /ɪ/
- diverse → /dɪˈvɜːrs/ → "i" = /ɪ/

So only unique has /iː/, others have /ɪ/.

✔ Answer: B. unique

#### 2. A. camel B. cattle C. paddy D. buffalo

Look at the "a" sound:
- camel – /ˈkæm.əl/ → "a" = /æ/
- cattle – /ˈkæt.əl/ → "a" = /æ/
- paddy – /ˈpæd.i/ → "a" = /æ/
- buffalo – /ˈbʌf.ə.ləʊ/ → "a" = /ʌ/

Here, buffalo has /ʌ/, others have /æ/

✔ Answer: D. buffalo

#### 3. A. normal B. visitor C. transport D. chore

Focus on the "o" sound:
- normal – /ˈnɔːrm.əl/ → "o" = /ɔː/
- visitor – /ˈvɪz.ɪ.tər/ → "o" = /ə/ (schwa)
- transport – /ˈtræns.pɔːrt/ → "o" = /ɔː/
- chore – /tʃɔːr/ → "o" = /ɔː/

Only visitor has /ə/, others have /ɔː/

✔ Answer: B. visitor

Exercise 2: Choose the word that has different stress pattern

We need to identify the stress pattern (which syllable is stressed).

#### 1. A. reduction B. popular C. financial D. romantic

Break down stress:
- reduction – /rɪˈdʌk.ʃən/ → stress on second syllable (du)
- popular – /ˈpɒp.jə.lər/ → stress on first syllable (pop)
- financial – /faɪˈnæn.ʃəl/ → stress on second syllable (nan)
- romantic – /rəˈmæn.tɪk/ → stress on second syllable (man)

Only popular has stress on the first syllable

✔ Answer: B. popular

#### 2. A. simple B. polite C. formal D. instant

Stress pattern:
- simple – /ˈsɪmp.l̩/ → first syllable
- polite – /pəˈlaɪt/ → second syllable
- formal – /ˈfɔːrm.əl/ → first syllable
- instant – /ˈɪn.stənt/ → first syllable

Only polite has stress on the second syllable

✔ Answer: B. polite

Exercise 3: Choose the correct answer

#### 1. The Gong Festival is held _________ in the Central Highlands.
A. year
B. which
C. annual
D. annually

We need an adverb to modify "held".

- "annually" = every year → adverb
- "annual" = adjective
- "year" = noun
- "which" = pronoun

✔ Answer: D. annually

---

#### 2. The crops _________ on the weather.
A. depend heavy
B. depend heavily
C. affect heavy
D. affect heavily

"Depend" is a verb → needs adverb to modify it.

- "heavily" = adverb → correct
- "heavy" = adjective → incorrect here
- "affect" means "to influence", but crops don’t affect weather — they are affected by it → so "depend" is correct
- So only B makes sense

✔ Answer: B. depend heavily

---

#### 3. People in rural areas live _______ than those in cities.
A. simpler
B. more simply
C. more simple
D. simpler

We are comparing how they live → manner → use adverb

- "simply" = adverb → "more simply" = comparative
- "simpler" = comparative of adjective → used for nouns, not actions
- "more simple" is grammatically incorrect; should be "simpler"
- But we need to describe living, which is a verb → needs adverb

So: "live more simply"

✔ Answer: B. more simply

#### 4. Mrs. Lan went to ________ school to meet her son’s teacher.
A. none
B. a
C. an
D. the

✔ Answer: D. the

#### 5. Ymoan is a _________ singer with songs about Central Highlands.
A. fame
B. famous
C. famousness
D. famously

We need an adjective to describe "singer"

- "famous" = adjective → correct
- "fame" = noun
- "famousness" = noun (rare, awkward)
- "famously" = adverb → modifies verbs, not nouns

✔ Answer: B. famous

#### 6. Minh is a very hard-working boy. He doesn’t mind _________ a lot of homework in the evenings.
A. making
B. reading
C. working
D. doing

"Mind" is followed by gerund (verb + ing)

"Doing homework" is the most natural phrase.

- "work homework" → no
- "do homework" → correct

✔ Answer: D. doing
