All six words share the spelling part 'sion' and end with the same sound /-ɪʒən/, so they rhyme with subdivision. Note that 's' in 'sion' here is pronounced /ʒ/, not /z/ or /ʃ/. Subdivision is stressed on the third syllable: /ˌsʌbdɪˈvɪʒən/. Beware lookalikes like 'tension' /ˈtɛnʃən/, whose 'sion' is pronounced /ʃən/.
