发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
None of these words rhyme with 'marathon' (stressed vowel /æ/ vs. /aɪ/, /e/, /æ/ in telethon? Actually telethon has /e/ in first syllable, not stressed to same vowel). They share similar spelling endings (thon, ylon, rinth) but differ in pronunciation. 'telethon' is closest in structure (both end in -thon), but its stressed vowel is /e/ not /æ/, so not a perfect rhyme.
