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

Analyze the question: You need the word that rhymes with "home". Rhyming words share the same ending vowel sound and final consonant sound, and they may be spelt differently.

Explain the concept: "Home" is pronounced /hoʊm/. The rhyming part is /oʊm/, a long "o" followed by "m". Spelling can mislead you, so go by sound, not by letters.

Check each option:

• A. come is pronounced /kʌm/, like "hum". The vowel is different, so it does not rhyme. It looks like "home" but sounds different (an eye-rhyme trap).
• B. groan is pronounced /groʊn/. It has the right vowel but ends in "n", not "m". It is close but does not rhyme.
• C. comb is pronounced /koʊm/. The "b" is silent, so the word has the same /oʊm/ ending as "home". This rhymes.
• D. horn is pronounced /hɔːn/. The vowel and the final consonant are both different, so it does not rhyme.

Answer: The word that rhymes with "home" is comb, which is option C.

Tip: Always say the words aloud (or in your head) and listen for the sound. Watch for silent letters, as in "comb" (silent b), and for look-alike words such as "come", which seems to rhyme with "home" on paper but does not.
