The word in capital letters has the emphatic stress. Choose the options to which the given sentence relates.
My only SON speaks like an orator.
Does my only son speak like an illiterate?
Does my only daughter speak like an orator?
Does my only son read like an orator?
Does your only son speak like an orator?
Explanation
For emphatic stress on "SON," the contrasting question should challenge "son" by substituting it with a different noun (e.g., "daughter"). Option B correctly contrasts "son" with "daughter," confirming the emphasis.
