Pronunciation & Spelling
The first five words share the identical stressed vowel /eɪ/ and final syllable /ʃən/ (or /ʒən/ for 'education' and 'situation'), making them perfect rhymes with 'simulation'. Note that 'simulate' looks similar but has a different final consonant sound (/t/ instead of /ʃən/), so it does not rhyme.
