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. Ruler brooch -2. Stern tablet -3. Witch protector 4. Tranquilize speaker 5. Difficult item to sell 6. Pier is lit 7. Fairy-like weight -8. Starting with legume -9. Dog years -10. Give a bad review for animal trainer a. eject -b. drawn -c. crime boss d. carriage -e. valor -f. settler -g. beggar -h. dowdy I. divinator j. equipment ![[Linked Image]](https://i.postimg.cc/FFJNrKXX/tombstone18.gif)
If you spell the words "absolutely nothing" backwards, you get "Gnihton yletulosba", which ironically means absolutely nothing.
