Let’s think about what “rhyme” means.
Words that rhyme sound the same at the end — especially the last part of the word, like the vowel and any consonants after it.
The word we’re matching is
bug.
What does “bug” sound like at the end?
→ It ends with the “-ug” sound.
Now let’s check each word:
1.
lug → sounds like “l-ug” → yes, ends with “-ug” → rhymes with bug
✔
2.
dug → sounds like “d-ug” → yes, ends with “-ug” → rhymes with bug
✔
3.
mug → sounds like “m-ug” → yes, ends with “-ug” → rhymes with bug
✔
All three words — lug, dug, mug — have the same ending sound as “bug”.
So they all rhyme!
Final Answer:
lug, dug, mug
