Cevap

The word 'doubt' (or 'shout' / 'spout') fits the context and forms an exact end rhyme with 'drought'.
The word drought is pronounced /draʊt/. The word doubt is pronounced /daʊt/ (with a silent letter 'b'). Both words end with the identical sound sequence /-aʊt/, creating an exact phonetic rhyme.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Determine the phonetic transcription and end rhyme sound of the target word 'drought'.
The target word drought is pronounced /draʊt/, which ends in the vowel-consonant combination /-aʊt/.
Phonetic rhyming depends on identical nucleus and coda sounds regardless of spelling differences.
2
Identify a contextual word that produces the matching /-aʊt/ sound sequence.
The word doubt is transcribed as /daʊt/, featuring a silent 'b' and an identical /-aʊt/ termination.
Both /draʊt/ and /daʊt/ share the diphthong /aʊ/ followed by the voiceless alveolar plosive /t/.
