Concept:Rhyme scheme depends on the final vowel and consonant sounds of a word, not just its spelling.
Explanation:Pronounce "dice" as /daɪs/.
Its ending sound is /aɪs/.
Now compare each option by pronunciation.
"Rice" is pronounced /raɪs/.
It has the same ending sound /aɪs/, so it rhymes with "dice".
"Mint" ends in /ɪnt/, which does not match.
"Fried" ends in /aɪd/, because the final consonant is /d/ instead of /s/.
"Case" ends in /eɪs/, with a different vowel sound /eɪ/.
Therefore, the word that shares the exact rhyme scheme with "dice" is "rice".
Answer:B. rice
