3. cob (a word for corn on the cob)
The missing vowel is o because c-o-b spells cob, like corn on the cob.
4. yam (a word for an orange vegetable)

Part C: True or False?
Read each statement. Circle True or False.

True False
True. Hub says /h/-/u/-/b/, so the short u sound is right there in the middle.
2. The word rim rhymes with ram.
