For this question, choose the option that rhymes with the given word.

cat

Answer Details

Two words rhyme when they share the same vowel and final consonant sounds. Cat is pronounced /kæt/, so the rhyming word must end with /æt/.

Consider each option:

  • call - pronounced /kɔːl/. Different vowel (/ɔː/) and different final consonant (/l/).
  • bat - pronounced /bæt/. It ends with /æt/, matching "cat" perfectly.
  • back - pronounced /bæk/. The vowel /æ/ matches, but the final consonant is /k/ instead of /t/.
  • cut - pronounced /kʌt/. The final consonant /t/ matches, but the vowel is /ʌ/, not /æ/.

The correct answer is bat, because /bæt/ and /kæt/ share the identical ending /æt/.
