From the words lettered A to D, choose the word that rhymes with the given word. view
- A.through
- B.cue
- C.route
- D.tool
Answer: B. cue
Explanation written with AI and checked against the answer key
Analyze the question: You are asked to find the word that rhymes with "view". Rhyming words share the same ending vowel sound, which is what you hear when you say the word aloud. Spelling can be misleading.
Explain the concept: Look at the sound, not the letters. "View" is pronounced /vjuː/, which is a "v" followed by a "yoo" sound.
Solution: Check each option by its pronunciation:
- A. through is /θruː/, ending in "oo". The vowel sound is /uː/, but there is no "y" glide.
- B. cue is /kjuː/, ending in "yoo". This matches /vjuː/ exactly.
- C. route is /ruːt/ (or /raʊt/), ending in a "t" sound. It does not match.
- D. tool is /tuːl/, ending in an "l" sound. It does not match.
Note on A versus B: Both "through" and "cue" end in the /uː/ sound, so "through" is a near rhyme. But "view" has the /juː/ glide, and only "cue" shares it. The pairing "view" and "cue" is also the standard rhyme, so B is the best answer.
Answer: B. cue
Tip: When you answer rhyme questions, say each word aloud and focus on the final sound from the vowel onward. Words like "view, cue, few, hue, due" all share the "yoo" ending. If two options seem close, choose the one that matches the whole ending sound, including any "y" glide.
