Answer 1

I believe the answer is C. The first pronunciation is usually the more common of those listed. 

Answer 2

The third alternative is correct (C).

Dictionaries help us understand the meaning of words we do not know. This exists in two forms, online and in print.

Usually, dictionaries expose more than one meaning to each word, in order of common usage. That way, the first word is the most used, but the other word also makes sense.
