An innocent word daydreams happily. Suddenly, the letter I barges in and sits next to it. The startled word gasps "If I'd have known I was coming!". The I squeezes in a "huh?!", but it's too late - a new word is formed.
The question body refers to both the shorter word and to the one with the I attached to it. The letter I may be added either at the start or at the end of the shorter word. The hints do not necessarily surrender the location.
The correct expected answer is the *long* word (i.e. the one with the I attached to it).
(it's the letter 'i' not a small 'l')
-1.Situated at the top surface of an atom group with non-zero electric charge. 3 letters
-2.Against the labourious insect. 4
-3.Cab on duty. 4
-4.The rascal got the large shrimp. 6
-5.Cold hot pepper. *6* letters - variant spelling
-6.The object of devotion is a fraud. 4
-7.Fled from the Persian. 5, 2 of which are added i's
-8.The best possible transaction. 5
-9.A false defamatory statement at one whose country is surrounded by water. 8
10.The quantitative relationship between two or more things can make one angry. 5
