Answer 1

Hint: Words that rhyme has the same sound. ‘Cheese’ and ‘please’ both have the same sound. The ending sound of any two or more words should sound similar, like, here, both 'cheese' and 'please' end with the sound 'ees', so they are rhyming words.

Complete answer:
 You can write rhyming poems by using pairs or groups of words that use the same sounds. Rhyming words are two or more words that have the same or similar ending sounds. For example goat, boat, moat, float, coat, etc. In the given question we are asked to identify the rhyming words from among the five words given – seen, rain, been, scene, mean. This question may have one or more than one answer.
Now, let us examine all the given options to find out the correct answer :
Option ‘a’ is Rain, been. Both of these words are not rhyming as they do not end with the same sound. One is ending with a sound of ‘ain’ while the other with the sound of ‘een’. So, this is an incorrect option.
Option ‘b’ is Rain, scene. Both of these words are also not rhyming as they both end with different sounds. So, this is an incorrect option.
Option ‘c’ is Mean, scene. Both of these words are rhyming as they end with the same sound, which is ‘een’. So, this is the correct option.
Option ‘d’ is Seen, mean. Both of these words are also rhyming as they are ending with a similar sound, that is, ‘een’. So, this is also a correct option.
As we have analyzed all the given options, we can easily figure out the correct answer. Here, the options which have rhyming words are – ‘mean, scene' and ‘seen, mean'. Hence, option ‘c’ is ‘d’ are correct.

We generally see rhyming words in stories, poems, or songs. They aren’t widely used in our common English language.
