语法说明Grammar Note
often used with 'take' or 'have'
发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
The words 'ability' and 'possibility' rhyme with 'responsibility' because they share the same stressed vowel /ɪ/ and following sounds (-lɪti). The other words (activity, community, university, security) end in -ity but have different stressed vowels (e.g., /ækˈtɪvɪti/, /kəˈmjunɪti/, etc.) and thus do not rhyme. In rapid American English, the /t/ in the suffix may flap to [ɾ], making the ending sound similar, but the stressed vowel difference remains.
