The words below have all been extracted from longer words. Can you find those longer words by adding one, two, or three letters before and  after each of the clue words? DUCAT in #1, for example, comes from E(DUCAT)ION. As a solving aid, the sets of letters you will need appear in random order below the clue words. The letter sets appear intact, but the beginning and end of each set are for you to determine. Thus in #1, the letters EION, which complete EDUCATION, could be crossed out.
