Question

complete the rhyming words to answer the riddle. what might you call a happy father? image of a man holding a baby a g___ dad

Explanation:

To solve the riddle, we need a word that rhymes with "dad" and describes a happy father. The prefix "a" (for "happy" - as in "glad" which means happy) combined with "glad" and "dad" gives "a glad dad". The missing letters in "g_" to form a word that rhymes with "dad" (ending with "ad") and means happy is "lad" - no, wait, "glad"! Wait, the structure is "a [g_] dad". The word "glad" means happy, and "glad" rhymes with "dad" (both have the "ad" sound). So the missing letters in "g_" are "lad"? No, "glad" is g-l-a-d. Wait, the blanks after "g" are three, so "glad" has four letters (g, l, a, d), but the blanks are three? Wait, maybe a typo, but the key is the rhyming word for "dad" that means happy is "glad". So the word is "a glad dad", so the missing letters in "g_" are "lad"? No, "glad" is g-l-a-d. Wait, the first letter is "g", then three blanks. So "glad" would be g, l, a, d - but three blanks? Maybe "glad" with the last letter? No, maybe the intended word is "glad", so the blanks after "g" are "lad" (g-l-a-d? No, l-a-d is three letters. So "g" + "lad" = "glad". Yes, "glad" means happy, and "glad" rhymes with "dad" (both have the /æd/ sound). So the word is "a glad dad", so the missing letters in "g___" are "lad" (forming "glad").

Answer:

a glad dad (the missing letters in "g___" are "lad" to form "glad")
