The man BROUGHT the newspaper.

Analyze the question: In emphatic stress questions, the capitalized word shows the new or corrected information in the answer. The stressed word contrasts with what the question asked about. Here, "BROUGHT" is stressed, so the question must have involved a different action (not bringing) with the same man and the same newspaper.

Concept: The sentence "The man BROUGHT the newspaper" implies: "The man brought the newspaper (he didn't do something else with it, like read it)." The other parts (the man, the newspaper) are already known from the question and stay the same, while the verb is the part being corrected or confirmed.

Check each option:

• A. Did the woman bring the newspaper? The answer would stress the subject: "The MAN brought the newspaper." ✗
• B. Did the man bring a newspaper? The answer would stress the object: "The man brought THE newspaper." ✗
• C. Did the man bring the magazine? The answer would stress the object: "The man brought the NEWSPAPER." ✗
• D. Did the man read the newspaper? The question is about the action (read). The answer corrects the verb: "The man BROUGHT the newspaper" (he didn't read it, he brought it). ✓

Answer: The stressed verb "brought" matches the question that asks about a different verb, "read," so the answer is D.

Tip: Find the capitalized word, then look for the option that differs from the answer only in that word's position. The question that has a different word in that spot is the correct one. Stress on the verb means the question had a different verb, stress on the subject means a different person, and stress on the object means a different thing.
