In this question, we are given a sentence with an emphatic stress on the word "REBUKED":

The principal REBUKED the teachers for lateness.

We need to find the correct option that contradicts the emphasized word and allows for re-emphasis of the word "REBUKED" in the response.

Option A: Did the governor rebuke the teachers for lateness?

This option is incorrect because it changes the subject (the governor) but not the emphasized word (rebuked).

Option B: Did the principal commend the teachers for lateness? (Correct)

This option is correct because it contradicts the emphasized word "REBUKED" by using "commend" instead. The response to this question would allow for re-emphasis on the word "REBUKED": Did the principal commend the teachers for lateness? No, the principal REBUKED the teachers for lateness.

Option C: Did the principal rebuke the students for lateness?

This option is incorrect because it changes the object (the students) but not the emphasized word (rebuked).

Option D: Did the principal rebuke the teachers for negligience?

This option is incorrect because it changes the reason (negligience) but not the emphasized word (rebuked).

In summary, Option B is the correct answer because it contradicts the emphasized word "REBUKED" and allows for re-emphasis in the response.
