Answer 2

'Stressed' just means you say the syllable a little more loudly than the others. You MUST read the lines aloud to hear them.

Line 1 has 8 syllables and line 2 has 6. Can you hear them? Read them aloud!

You are correct, but you say you are guessing. Read this. I think it will help you understand stressed and unstressed words and syllables.
