* Intonation is flexible: Pitch patterns vary depending on the speaker's intention, emotion, and the overall context of the conversation.
* Multiple interpretations: The sentence could be:
* A statement of disbelief: The pitch might rise on "believe" and fall on "it."
* A question seeking confirmation: The pitch might rise on "believe" and stay high on "it."
* A rhetorical question: The pitch might fall on "believe" and "it," conveying a sense of incredulity.
To get a more accurate pitch pattern, you'd need to consider:
* The speaker's voice and tone: Is it a high-pitched or low-pitched voice? Are they speaking in a neutral, surprised, or sarcastic tone?
* The context of the conversation: What was said before? What is the speaker trying to achieve with this statement?
Example:
* If someone says "Can you believe it?" after hearing about a surprising event, they might use a rising intonation on "believe" and a falling intonation on "it," conveying disbelief.
Without more information, it's impossible to pinpoint the exact pitch pattern.
