توضیح
Emphatic stress is the placement of greater stress on a particular word or phrase in an utterance for the sake of emphasis or clarification. For questions on emphatic stress, the goal is to look for the question that contradicts the stressed word or phrase in the utterance. "Eagles" is stressed in the utterance because it is the answer to the question: "Who won the Eagles?"
