Choose the word that has the same rhyme scheme. laugh

  1. life
  2. light
  3. ghost
  4. half ✓
Explanation

“Laugh” is pronounced /lɑːf/. It ends in the sound /ɑːf/, even though the spelling is “augh”.

“Half” is pronounced /hɑːf/, so the two rhyme.

“Life” and “light” look similar in spelling but end in /aɪf/ and /aɪt/. “Ghost” ends in /əʊst/.
