I really am a Dollar Scholar! In the lead-up to converting to decimal currency - switching money from pounds/shillings/pence to dollars/cents - in New Zealand in 1967, schools awarded you a Dollar Scholar title if you passed a test about that.
I may be wrong but caffeine vaccine is just a one-syllable rhyme, isn't it? Given that, I wonder if "archer teacher" couldn't be an acceptable answer for "person who gives lessons to marksmen".
Archer teacher rhymes as well as upset octet. Although, now that I think about it, it would mean that er and er are the rhyming syllables with the "ch" sound also the same, so do they rhyme if they are the same? Personally I think neither should be on the list and I wasn't happy with caffeine vaccine, either. It shouldn't be difficult to find a few more that have both syllables rhyming in both words. And while I'm on a rant, I also wasn't happy with rabies babies - too horrific to even think about.
Absolutely. Caffeine and vaccine do not rhyme. Nor do upset and octet. I don't even think an elementary school teacher would accept these as rhymes. Otherwise a great quiz, but these two need to be replaced.
It needs to rhyme. Plus "shudder" and "scary" aren't synonyms. It might work if the dairy products were scared, rather than scary, but it still doesn't rhyme
Am I the only one who could only think of 'punting' as 'promoting'? And thanks to this quiz I've discovered I have a very limited number of syllables for whiskey in my vocabulary!
In what way is "upset octet" a rhyme? Don't both syllables have to rhyme? Since nothing about anger rhymes with octet, I was coming up with "hatesome eightsome" or "hateful eightful".
1) Upset octet isn't a rhyme. 2) Caffeine vaccine rhymes better, at least the way I pronounce the words...the a-sounds in the first syllables rhyme & the -een- sounds of the second syllables rhyme.
As many mentioned before, upset and octet really do not rhyme (regardless of your dialect). They rhyme as much as "many" and "tiny" (both ending -ny but that is not enough to make them rhyme )
Wow. Some of the comments here just seem odd to me. Octet and upset do kind of rhyme in that if you say both words, you hear the 'et' sound clearly because
there is stress on the second syllable. I'm not saying it's a great rhyme but it just about works. Shooter-Teacher, Many-Tiny etc.,etc. generally do not work because the stress is more on the first syllable and so you don't hear the 'er' or other second syllable very strongly. As for those that have said above that both syllables should rhyme, that isn't one of the criteria given, it only says they should be two syllable words and they should rhyme.

You say Yoo-nited States, not oo-nited. But you say "too-ter" instead of "tyutor".
