Question

question 3 of 10
which is an example of a perfect rhyme on a multisyllabic word?

a. ocean, portion

b. convention, adoration

c. portico, vertical

d. luster, muster

Explanation:

A perfect rhyme for multisyllabic words requires the final stressed vowel and all following sounds to match exactly.

• Option A: "Ocean" (/ˈoʊʃn/) and "portion" (/ˈpɔːrʃn/) have different vowel sounds before the final syllable.
• Option B: "Convention" (/kənˈvenʃn/) and "adoration" (/ˌædəˈreɪʃn/) share the final stressed vowel and ending sounds (/ˈeɪʃn/), fitting the definition.
• Option C: "Portico" (/ˈpɔːrtɪkoʊ/) and "vertical" (/ˈvɜːrtɪkl/) have no matching final sounds.
• Option D: "Luster" (/ˈlʌstər/) and "muster" (/ˈmʌstər/) are single-syllabic rhymes, not multisyllabic.

Answer:

B. Convention, adoration
