Feminine nouns starting with a stressed "A"

Tengo ________ hambre.I am very hungry.
The correct answer is mucha but selectedmucho because I thought the stress was on the first syllable. So is that not the casewith hambre?muchomucha

Hola Troy

There is a section in the lesson that explains that when these words are preceded by determiners like demonstratives, possessive and indefinite adjectives (e.g. este.., nuestro,... mucho, poco...) they do take the feminine form of these, not the masculine, so it would be "mucha agua, nuestra agua, esta agua).
