Change the four letter words on the left to the five letter words on the right by giving and taking letters. Add one letter to the word in the START column to form a five letter word. Then subtract a letter from that word to form a new four letter word. Next, add a letter to that four letter word to form a new five letter word. Take away a letter from that five letter word to form a new four letter word. Finally, add a letter to that four letter word that will make the five letter word in the FINISH column. Warning: The answer for #9 contains an archaic spelling of a word. Well, it's still used in crossword puzzles. Solving tips: Find the common, and uncommon letters, between the starting word and the ending word. When a five letter word is created, include one of the uncommon letters from the ending word. When a four letter word is created, remove an uncommon letter from the starting word.
START 5 LTR 4 LTR 5 LTR 4 LTR FINISH
Example:
VEST STOVE TOES THOSE SHOT SHORT
--1. WREN ROBIN
--2. STEM STALK
--3. TRAP SNARE
--4. COAT SCARF
--5. DATE PEACH
--6. ROSE THORN
--7. RAKE SPADE
--8. VEIL COVER
--9. RHEM RIVEN
--10. DELI BREAD

Nice solve, Michele. And a jump start for the last one.... The archaic spelling of "rhyme" is the first five-letter word
