Question

Match the words in Column A with their rhyming word in Column B:

Column A	Column B
1. Course	A. Show
2. Believe	B. Resource
	C. Retrieve

Answer 1

Hint:Rhyming words produce similar sounds. Pronounce each word and then find two words that sound similar.

Complete answer:
Rhyming words are two or more words that have the same or similar ending sound. Some examples of rhyming words are goat, boat, moat, float. If the two words sound different, they do not rhyme. For example, car and man do not rhyme; house and grass do not rhyme.

Now, let us examine all the given options to find out the correct answer.

Column A word is Course, it is rhyming with column B word resource. Both of these ends with the sound of “ource”. Hence, they are rhyming.

Column A word is Believe; it is rhyming with column B word retrieve. Both of these ends with the same sound “eve”. So, these are also rhyming words.

Hence the answer is 1-B & 2-C.

Note:We generally see rhyming words in stories, poems, or songs. They aren’t widely used in our common English language. Rhymes occur in different forms. They can be end rhymes, slant rhymes. Or identical rhymes. Keep in mind that words with ending rhyme have the same final vowel sound and following consonant sounds.
