The word in capital letters has the emphatic stress. Choose the options to which the given sentence relates.  The architect did the DESIGN.

Analyze the question: In emphatic stress questions, the capitalized word is the new or contrasting information. The sentence answers a question in which that word is the point of focus. Here, DESIGN is stressed, so the sentence is correcting or answering something about what the architect did.

Concept: Emphatic stress puts focus on one word to contrast it with another possibility.

• ARCHITECT stressed → the question is about who did it.
• DID stressed → the question is about whether it was done.
• DESIGN stressed → the question is about what the architect did.

Solution: We need the option that asks about the thing the architect did, where "design" is the answer and something else is being wrongly suggested.

• A. Who did the design? This focuses on the doer, so ARCHITECT would be stressed. ✗
• B. Was the design done by the engineer? This also focuses on the doer (engineer vs. architect). ✗
• C. Did the architect destroy the design? This focuses on the action (destroy vs. do). It would be answered with "The architect DID the design" or "DID/DESIGNED". ✗
• D. Did the architect do the draft? This contrasts the thing done (draft vs. design). The answer, "The architect did the DESIGN," stresses the object. ✔

Answer: The stressed word DESIGN corrects "draft" in option D.

Tip: Find the word in the question that differs from the stressed sentence. Here "draft" is replaced by "design", so the stressed word is the correction. In these questions, ask yourself, "What is being contrasted?"
