Question

complete the poem with a word that rhymes.
my mother likes to keep her sheep
inside a barn where they can ____.
sleep
grow
sit

Explanation:

To find a word that rhymes with "sheep", we analyze the ending sounds. "Sheep" ends with the long "ee" sound. Among the options, "sleep" also ends with the long "ee" sound (spelled as "ee" in "sleep" and "eep" in "sheep" but the vowel sound is the same), while "grow" has a long "o" sound and "sit" has a short "i" sound. So "sleep" rhymes with "sheep".

Answer:

sleep
