发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
All words share the spelling ending '-ment', but only 'implement' has the same first vowel /ɪ/ as 'instrument'; however, the consonant clusters differ, so they do not rhyme. 'Moment', 'document', 'element', and 'government' have different stressed vowels. 'Comment' is often pronounced with /ɛnt/ instead of /mənt/, making it a lookalike.
