Which word rhymes with 'great'?

**The reasoning** A **rhyme** happens when two words have the same ending *sound* — not necessarily the same spelling. Let's check the sounds: - **Great** sounds like "grayt" (/greɪt/) - **Late** sounds like "layt" (/leɪt/) Both end with the *"-ayt"* sound. That's a perfect rhyme! Notice how "great" doesn't follow the usual spelling pattern (you'd expect "grate"), but pronunciation is what matters for rhyming. **Why the wrong options tempt you** - **A) Greet** — Looks similar to "great" at the start, but sounds like "greet" (/griːt/), ending with "-eet". Different vowel sound entirely. - **C) Heat** — Also ends in "-eat" spelling like "great", but sounds like "heet" (/hiːt/). The spelling tricks you! - **D) Goat** — Sounds like "goht" (/goʊt/), with an "-oht" ending. Close, but the vowel sound is different. **Quick takeaway** For rhyming questions, **say the words out loud** — trust your ears, not your eyes, because English spelling can be very deceptive!
