-3. unfit + come in second + snub
-4. laughingstock + sod + misrepresent
-5. bird call + zenith + word with home or large
-6. a way or manner of doing something + teem + Chinese dynasty
-7. be in the red + poem + reference
-8. indefinite article + shafts + a woody plant
-9. garden tool + month + mongrel
-10. avian deliverer + main + cat sound
-11. carrots partner + might + mongrel
