In this puzzle, there is a missing step between the clue and the answer - both of which are given below. Can you determine the missing step?

1. CIRCA - TAKE CARE OF
2. BE THE RIGHT SIZE - DEEM WORTHY
3. SUNS - GET KNOCKED OUT
4. ONE OF THREE DEFINITIONS FOR NOUNS - HALLUCINATE 
5. PERSON ON THE LEFT (TO SOME) - BECOME ANGRY

HINTS:
#1: Answer the first part of the clue first.
#2: For example, CIRCA could be answered ABOUT.

Answer:

After answering the first part of the clue, put the word SEE in front of it and treat that expression as a second clue. The answer to that second clue is the last word or phrase in each clue above:

1. CIRCA - ABOUT - SEE ABOUT = TAKE CARE OF
2. BE THE RIGHT SIZE - FIT - SEE FIT = DEEM WORTHY
3. SUNS - STARS - SEE STARS = GET KNOCKED OUT
4. ONE OF THREE DEFINITIONS FOR NOUNS - THINGS - SEE THINGS = HALLUCINATE
5. PERSON ON THE LEFT (TO SOME) - RED - SEE RED = BECOME ANGRY
