Concept:Emphatic stress highlights the corrected word in a response, contrasting it with the same word type in the question.
Explanation:The sentence stresses
CARTON, so the question must contain a wrong word in that position.
Options B, C, and D change other words (
sell,
man,
fish) instead of
carton.
Only option A asks about a
tin of milk, which contrasts directly with
carton.
Therefore, the emphatic stress on
CARTON corrects
tin to
carton.
Answer:A. Did the woman buy a tin of milk?
