Answer
Brief Explanations:
- Analyze the rhyme of each option:
- For "The last two lines rhyme 'critter' and'meowed.'", "critter" ends with /ɪtə(r)/ and "meowed" ends with /maʊd/, no rhyme.
- For "The second and third lines rhyme 'loud' and 'her.'", "loud" ends with /laʊd/ and "her" ends with /hɜː(r)/, no rhyme.
- For "The first two lines rhyme 'Dowd' and 'loud.'", "Dowd" is pronounced /daʊd/ and "loud" is /laʊd/, they rhyme.
Answer:
The first two lines rhyme "Dowd" and "loud."
