Pronunciation & Spelling
Only 'duty' (/ˈduːti/) shares the same stressed vowel /uː/ and ending /ti/ as 'beauty' (/ˈbjuːti/), so they genuinely rhyme. The other words have different vowel sounds (e.g., /ɪ/ in 'city', 'pity', 'pretty'; /iː/ in 'treaty'; /eɪ/ in 'safety') and do not rhyme with 'beauty', though they share the spelling ending '-ty'.
