Question

What is the pitch pattern of this sentence?


Help! I'm falling.
4 4 4 4
4 3 1 2
4 3 4 3
4 1 1 1

Answer 1

4 1 1 1

Reason: "Help!" is a high, attention‑getting exclamation (high pitch = 4). "I'm falling." is a declarative alarm statement with falling intonation, so the following syllables drop to a low pitch (1) and stay low through the end.
