Let’s go through each word and figure out which syllable is stressed — that means which part you say louder or stronger when you say the word.
We’ll look at each number and pick the correct one where the underlined part shows the stressed syllable.
---
1.
domino → DOM-i-no → Stress on first syllable → “domino” (first option)
✔
2.
release → re-LEASE → Stress on second syllable → “release” (second option)
✔
3.
turgid → TUR-gid → Stress on first syllable → “turgid” (first option)
✔
4.
hungry → HUN-gry → Stress on first syllable → “hungry” (first option)
✔
5.
sister → SIS-ter → Stress on first syllable → “sister” (first option)
✔
6.
college → COL-lege → Stress on first syllable → “college” (first option)
✔
7.
classes → CLAS-ses → Stress on first syllable → “classes” (first option)
✔
8.
kitchen → KIT-chen → Stress on first syllable → “kitchen” (first option)
✔
9.
rotor → RO-tor → Stress on first syllable → “rotor” (first option)
✔
10.
glisten → GLIS-ten → Stress on first syllable → “glisten” (first option)
✔
11.
dialing → DI-al-ing → Stress on first syllable → “dialing” (first option)
✔
12.
yesterday → YEST-er-day → Stress on first syllable → “yesterday” (first option)
✔
All of them have the stress on the FIRST syllable — so in every case, we circle the first word listed.
