Which pair rhymes with each other?

• A. Sun and Stone
• B. Sun and Fun
• C. Fun and Stone
• D. Sun and Sun

Answer: (B)

Rhyming happens when two words share the same ending sound. Sun and Fun both end with the -un sound: sun [sʌn] and fun [fʌn], so they rhyme. The starting sounds differ (s vs f), but that doesn’t affect the rhyme—the ending part is what matters. Sun and Stone don’t rhyme because sun ends with the -un sound, while stone ends with the -one sound (/stoʊn/), which is different. Fun and Stone also don’t rhyme for the same reason—their endings are -un versus -one. Sun and Sun would rhyme, but typically a pair implies two different words, so Sun and Fun is the best match.
