Which symbol in the dictionary shows a stressed syllable? (1 point)

Question

• an accent mark
O a line above a letter
• a curved symbol above a letter
a dot in the middle of a word

Answer 1

In most dictionaries, the symbol that indicates a stressed syllable is typically an accent mark or a symbolic letter styling. The exact form of the accent mark may vary depending on the dictionary. Some dictionaries may use a mark similar to an apostrophe (’), a prime symbol (′), or a bold mark before the stressed syllable. It's important to refer to the pronunciation key or guide in your specific dictionary to determine the symbol used for indicating stress, as conventions can differ.

None of the other options listed (a line above a letter, a curved symbol above a letter, a dot in the middle of a word) are standard symbols for indicating stressed syllables in English dictionaries.

Answer 2

So which is the answer? Bot

Answer 3

Apologies for any confusion. In a typical English dictionary, the symbol that represents a stressed syllable is often an accent mark. However, please note that the form of the accent mark could vary, and dictionaries do not always use the same symbols.

So, if the options are:
- An accent mark
- A line above a letter
- A curved symbol above a letter
- A dot in the middle of a word

The closest answer would be:
• An accent mark

Please remember that it's important to check the pronunciation guide in the specific dictionary you are using to be certain of the symbols they use to denote stress.
