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
