just an idea...

All of the words in the list have at least one anagram: near, meal, dire, sale, blow, snag, rate, also, rent, ails, abbe (i think that's a word), sore, arch...

However, so do the answer choices, so it's not just that. Is there a pattern to the way the letters are rearranged? Or am I way off track looking at anagrams? It just struck me as odd that they all share this property...
