From the words lettered A to D, choose the word that rhymes with the given word  blue

Analyze the question: You are asked to find the word that rhymes with "blue". Rhyming words have the same ending sound, so we compare how the words are pronounced, not how they are spelled.

Explain the concept: "Blue" is pronounced /bluː/. The ending sound is the long "oo" vowel /uː/. A word rhymes with it if it also ends in /uː/, even when the spelling is different (for example, two, shoe, through).

Check each option:

• A. flow is /fləʊ/. It ends in the "oh" sound, so it does not rhyme.
• B. blur is /blɜː/. It ends in the "er" sound. It also starts like "blue", but rhyme depends on the ending, so it does not rhyme.
• C. grew is /ɡruː/. It ends in the long "oo" sound /uː/, the same as "blue". ✔
• D. show is /ʃəʊ/. It ends in the "oh" sound, so it does not rhyme.

Answer: The word that rhymes with "blue" is grew, option C.

Tip: Cover the first letters and say only the ending sound aloud. "Blue" and "grew" both end in "-oo". Beware of options like "blur" that look similar in spelling but sound different. In rhyme questions, always trust your ears, not your eyes.
