Grammar Note

Pronunciation & Spelling
All -ivity words (activity, creativity, productivity, relativity, sensitivity) rhyme with festivity: the stress falls on the same syllable and the ending is /ɪvɪti/. City is a lookalike: it ends in -ity but is pronounced /ˈsɪti/, with stress on the first syllable and no /v/ sound, so it does not rhyme.
