The number of letters in the answers are shown at the top of the group. The clues are in the order to agree with the letter count. Example: (5-6-7) a small amount - red Bordeaux wine - concert = trace, c(l)aret, rec(i)tal 5-6-7 -1. part of a play - a medium meeting? - purify -2. model - a sea hawk - people with this disease have been put in colonies -3. pursue - hunt - retail worker -4. like Marie Osmond's roses - come into view - clothing -5. sing - firm - faithful 6-7-8 -6. attire - repeat - well-read -7. sturdy - classifying - church musician -8. source - household chore - snubbing -9. sharp - prominence - douse 7-8-9 -10. anguish - utopia - fade -11. fundamental - reed instrument- sure -12. countertop material - slope - leaving -13. continue - bakery sweets - leaches 8-9-10 -14. bewitch - citrus fruit - burn -15. pledge - nutrition expert - coerce -16. keep - liveliness - type of material used on a floating floor
