发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
All six words share the stressed vowel /ɛ/ and the final /sənt/, so they rhyme with each other and with 'iridescent'. Note: 'descent' /dɪˈsɛnt/ and 'ascent' /əˈsɛnt/ are lookalikes ending in 'scent', but they are pronounced with /ɛnt/, not /ɛsənt/, so they do not rhyme.
