Pronunciation & Spelling
Of these, 'bacterial', 'arterial', 'venereal', and 'imperial' rhyme with 'material' (same stressed vowel and ending /ɪriəl/). 'Cereal' and 'serial' have the same ending sounds but different stress patterns (stress on first syllable), so they are not perfect rhymes. Common lookalike: 'industrial' (/ɪnˈdʌstriəl/) does not rhyme.
