Each of the words in the left-hand column can "eat" one of the words in the right-hand column to produce a new word - without any re-arrangement of letters. For example, the word SUED  can swallow the word STAIN to form SUSTAINED. The words in the right-hand column are not in order. Can you match the eaters with the "eatees" and determine the new words?
