Insert a word that means the same as the words outside the brackets in each of the following. Each of the asterisks represents a letter whether same or different.
- BOUNDARY (****) LAKE
- LIGHTLY-BUILT (******) GIVE OFFENCE TO
- REAR (*****) SEVERE
- PUSH (*****) NEWSPAPERS
- SHEPHERD’S STAFF (*****) ROGUE
- IMPEDE (******) LARGE BASKET
- EQUAL (****) LOOK CLOSELY
- PESTER (******) TYPE OF ANIMAL
- NEW (*****) TALE
- ASCEND (*****) CALIBRATION
- DOG (*****) SPORTSMAN
- WEIGHT (*****) LYNX
- GAME (*********) EXTINCT BIRD
- CRINGE (*****) GAME BIRD
#7 would seem to be PEER
I'm thinking that #1 might be LIMN or LIMB, with the silent last letter differing in the two, though I can't find a definition of LIMN that is a lake, even though LIMNOLOGY is the study of fresh water such as lakes or ponds.
