Question 9

Which sentence uses a pair of rhyming words correctly?

  1. The small ball rolled down the long hall (correct answer)
  2. I saw a big pig eating an apple
  3. The brown cow jumped over the fence
  4. A red bird sat on the old tree branch
Explanation: When you see a question about rhyming words, you need to listen for words that end with the same sound. Rhyming words don't have to be spelled the same way, but they must sound alike at the end. Let's look at choice A: "The small ball rolled down the long hall." Here you can hear that "ball" and "hall" both end with the same "-all" sound. These words rhyme perfectly, making this sentence correct. Now let's check why the other choices don't work. Choice B says "I saw a big pig eating an apple." The words "pig" and "apple" don't rhyme at all - "pig" ends with an "-ig" sound while "apple" ends with an "-el" sound. Choice C states "The brown cow jumped over the fence." While "brown" and "cow" might look like they could rhyme, "brown" ends with an "-own" sound and "cow" ends with an "-ow" sound, which are different. Choice D reads "A red bird sat on the old tree branch." None of these words rhyme with each other - "red," "bird," "old," "tree," and "branch" all have completely different ending sounds. Study tip: When looking for rhyming words, say the words out loud or in your head. Focus on how the endings sound, not how they're spelled. Words like "cat" and "hat" rhyme, just like "ball" and "hall" do. Practice by thinking of word families that share the same ending sounds.
