PASSAGE
During an oral proficiency interview, a student produces the sentence: Los estudiantes están esperando en la entrada with the following intonation: a steep rise from Los through están, a sharp fall on espe-, a plateau through rando en la, and a final low tone on entrada.
A trained rater notes that this intonation pattern sounds unnatural for a broad-focus declarative sentence in Spanish. Which explanation most accurately identifies why, and what a more native-like contour would involve?
