Concept:Identify the syllable that receives the main stress in each word, then choose the word that does not match the others.
Explanation:A. "voracious" has stress on the second syllable: /vəˈreɪʃəs/.
B. "congenial" has stress on the second syllable: /kənˈdʒiːniəl/.
C. "intestate" has stress on the second syllable: /ɪnˈtɛsteɪt/.
D. "elevate" has stress on the first syllable: /ˈɛlɪveɪt/.
Words A, B, and C share the same stress pattern.
Only D differs because the main stress falls on the first syllable.
So the odd word out is D.
Answer:D. elevate
