I pronounce the two words in c. the same.
But there is one pair that don't sound exactly alike to me.
Same them all out loud. If necessary, look up the words in a dictionary to see their pronunciation.
You have a question mark. Did you pronounce all of these words out loud? Did you look up some of them in a dictionary?
You might also consider other rhyming words. Do they all sound the same?
good >> wood, would, could
food >> mood, rude, brood
Yes, you are correct. The pair of words "forsake/partake" is an example of approximate rhyme because the ending sounds are similar but not exact.
To determine which of the following pairs of words is an example of approximate rhyme, we need to understand what approximate rhyme means. Approximate rhyme, also known as near rhyme or slant rhyme, refers to words that have similar but not identical sounds.
Let's analyze each pair of words:
a. care/hair - These words have a similar long vowel sound and ending consonant sound, making them a fairly good example of approximate rhyme.
b. bubble/trouble - These words have a different vowel sound and ending consonant sound, so they do not represent approximate rhyme.
c. forsake/partake - These words have a different initial consonant sound, vowel sound, and ending consonant sound, so they do not represent approximate rhyme.
d. food/good - These words have a different initial consonant sound and ending consonant sound, so they do not represent approximate rhyme.
Based on the analysis, the correct answer is a. care/hair, as this pair exhibits similar but not identical sounds, meeting the criteria for approximate rhyme.
