语法说明Grammar Note

发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
Basement and placement genuinely rhyme with casement: their stressed vowels and following sounds match (/beɪs/, /pleɪs/ vs /keɪs/). Pavement shares only the unstressed /mənt/ ending, not the /eɪs/ rhyme. Cement is a useful lookalike: it ends in -ment in spelling, but it is pronounced /sɪˈment/ with second-syllable stress and a different vowel, so it does not rhyme.
