Hello everyone.

Which word, #1, #2, #3, or #4, has the heaviest stress in part of one of B�s lines: �it�s the way she explains things�?
1. way
2. she
3. explains
4. things

I thought the answer would be #4, but the expected answer given was #1.
(A and B are on their way back from school.)
A: Who�s that? Is she a teacher?
B: Yes, that�s Ms. White. She�s my English teacher. She teaches the advanced grammar class. You must have seen her at school.
A: No, I don�t think so. Anyway, what�s her class like?
B: Very good. It�s the way she explains things that really helps me understand English grammar. It�s always simple and clear.
A: Really? Tell me more about her class!

I would like your comment, please.

Best regards,
fw

Hi fw,

1 is a good answer. I would say that 3 is also a good answer with "expl+AINS."

(1) is definitely the best answer here.
