These words all share the -ize spelling and the final unstressed /aɪz/ sound, but they do not strictly rhyme with monopolize, whose main stress is on /ɒ/ in the second syllable. Only apologize has the same stressed vowel /ɒ/, yet the following consonant sounds differ, so it is not a perfect rhyme either. Also note the lookalike monopoly /məˈnɒpəli/, which sounds different because it ends in /li/.
