发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
Silica is the only true rhyme: its stressed vowel and the following sounds match basilica's /ɪlɪkə/. Replica, America and harmonica share only the written ending -ica and the final /kə/ but have different stress or vowel sounds, so they are lookalikes rather than rhymes. Basil and basilisk match the beginning spelling basil- but are pronounced /ˈbæzəl/ and /ˈbæsɪlɪsk/, so they do not rhyme.
