Explanation:
The stressed syllable of a word is the one we pronounce more strongly, the one you would make longer if you were to scream that word. Take the word orange, for example. If you were to scream it, you would say "ooooooorange" instead of "oraaaaaange". That is because "or" is the stressed syllable, not "ange".
Now, let's use number 1 above as an example. Below, we will highlight the stressed syllable in each word:
A. unsurprising B. undecided C. undeveloped D. uninteresting
Words A, B, and C have the same pattern, the stressed syllable being the one before the last. Only letter D has a different pattern, which is why we can choose it as the right option.
