Cevap

The target word 'aisle' is pronounced /aɪl/ with silent 'a' and 's'. The correct rhyming response is 'style' (pronounced /staɪl/), which shares the identical ending sound /aɪl/.
The target word 'aisle' is phonetically transcribed as /aɪl/. The word 'style' (/staɪl/) shares the identical nucleus diphthong /aɪ/ and final alveolar consonant /l/, creating a perfect phonetic rhyme.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the phonetic pronunciation of the target word 'aisle'.
The word 'aisle' contains silent letters 'a' and 's', resulting in the phonetic transcription /aɪl/.
Rhyming evaluation in JAMB UTME Oral English relies on sound matching, not orthographic spelling.
2
Determine the terminal rime sound required for the rhyming word.
The rhyming word must end with the diphthong /aɪ/ followed by the lateral consonant /l/ (/aɪl/).
A valid end rhyme matches both the nucleus vowel sound and any following consonant sound.
3
Identify a contextually appropriate word ending in /aɪl/ to fill the sentence blank.
The word 'style' (/staɪl/) matches the phonetic end sound /aɪl/ and completes the sentence meaningfully.
'Style' correctly completes the sentence context while providing an exact phonetic rhyme.
