Concept:Rhyme is judged by the final sound of a word, not by its spelling or ending letters.
Explanation:The given word contains the final sound /ɑːʒ/.
This sound is the soft "zh" sound heard at the end of words like "garage" and "massage".
In Option C, "massage" is pronounced /məˈsɑːʒ/, so its final sound exactly matches /ɑːʒ/.
Thus, "massage" rhymes with the given word.
Let us check the other options.
"Budget" does not end with /ɑːʒ/.
"Passage" does not end with /ɑːʒ/.
"Ageing" does not end with /ɑːʒ/.
Only Option C shares the same final sound as the given word.
Always say the words aloud, because English spelling can be deceptive.
Rhyming pairs must sound alike at the end, even if the letters are different.
Answer:C. massage
