The first letters of the other two or three words are given as hints. For example, given the clue IN + +, the answer word could be IN +SO + FAR = INSOFAR. This would be hinted at as IN + S + F.
1. PER + +
2. PRO + +

15. DISH + +
HINTS:

5. IN + A + M
6. AT + T + I
7. WOE + B + G
8. IMP + O + A
9. ALTO + G + H
10. HIGH + W + M
11. WHERE + W + A
12. IN + F + M + I
13. FORM + M + A
14. CAN + C + AT + I
15. DISH + E + L
Answers:
1. PER + MISS + ION = PERMISSION
2. PRO + FESS + ION = PROFESSION
3. CON + VENT + ION = CONVENTION
4. SO + ME + TIME = SOMETIME
5. IN + AS + MUCH = INASMUCH
6. AT + TRACT + ION = ATTRACTION
7. WOE + BE + GONE = WOEBEGONE
8. IMP + ORT + ANT = IMPORTANT
9. ALTO + GET + HER = ALTOGETHER
10. HIGH + WAY + MAN = HIGHWAYMAN
11. WHERE + WITH + ALL = WHEREWITHALL
12. IN + FOR + MAT + ION - INFORMATION
13. FORM + ID + ABLE = FORMIDABLE
14. CAN + CELL + AT + ION = CANCELLATION*
