Which of the following words does NOT rhyme with the other three words?

Options

Option A

tough

Option B

rough

Option C is correct

cough

Option D

enough

Explanation

The words 'tough', 'rough', and 'enough' all end with the same vowel-consonant sound /ʌf/ (sounding like 'uff'). However, 'cough' is pronounced with the sound /ɒf/ (sounding like 'off'). Therefore, 'cough' is the odd one out.
