Answer 1

Hint: Rhyming words are sets of two or more words that share the same or similar sounds at the end.

Complete step-by-step answer:

If two or more words rhyme with each other, it means that the set of words have similar exact ending sounds. Example: cat-bat, now-cow, and so on.
From the above-given lines, we have to find the pair of words that share the same ending sound.
The first line ends with the word ‘life’. The ending sound ‘li-fe’ seemingly doesn’t rhyme with any other ending words.
This shows that ‘done’ in option a, ‘aimlessly’ in option b, and ‘become’ in option d do not rhyme with ‘life.’ Hence, these are incorrect options.
Option c gives the pair of words that almost share the same sounds.
‘Do-ne’ and ‘be-co-me’ have almost similar ending sounds and therefore, they are the right pair of rhyming words here.

Note: Rhymes occur in different forms. They can be end rhymes, internal rhymes, slant rhymes, or identical rhymes.
