The clues in 1-10 all define words in obscure ways. A-J contains the actual definitions or descriptions of the words. Determine the real words and match them with the similar-sounding descriptions. Example: “Set of twelve” (dozen) would match with “meditate” (do Zen). Please explain your answers.
-1. Stuff Ernie's friend -2. Evil glove -3. Central wise man -4. Write a song -5. Dodge a chart -6. Harbor bird -7. Wave a fiddle -8. Slack part of the psyche -9. Very short British mother -10. Prohibit coffee
-a. signature -b. bread roll -c. least amount -d. hazelnut -e. nonsense -f. stringed instrument -g. inclination -h. lawn sport -i. crystal-clear -j. small, wearable bouquet
The moon is actually more useful than the sun since the moon gives us light at night when it's dark. The sun only gives us light during the day when it's already bright out.
