INFERRED ANAGRAMS III
Joseph Appel
One interesting aspect of an anagram pair is how the two words relate to each other in context. By inference, can you extract two context-related anagrams from the clues below? For example, given the clue
I have a deep fear of that snake.
The two related anagrams would be DREAD (deep fear) and ADDER (snake).
1. It felt strange, yet mystical, to dance in the shadow of an eclipse.
2. What comes out of your mouth can be like what comes out of a sheath.
3. The women who got married left a lot of trash behind.
4. A virtuous woman is not unfaithful.
5. If all you ever do is go to the movies, you'll become pale and weak.
6. "Trust me, that snake in striking position is not passive."
7. He gave a long, boring lecture on various belief systems.
8. I want to live here.
9. "That lovely dance was over in such a short time!"
10. An inexpensive, shared lodging is fine for a young person, but older folks need places with comfortable accommodations and services.
