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. catch a tube -2. mother of mutt -3. ventilate a turkey -4. pigpen is packed -5. back bite -6. has less hair to streak -7. revenue is crooked -8. a musical note -9. without skill? -10. able to hawk -a. nonsense -b. sugar coating -c. doctrine -d. holding office -e. wind instrument -f. smother -g. reconcile -h. delete -i. aristocracy -j. ghostly spirit
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.
