1. Ask - 24 sheets of paper (inquire - quire)

2. Fervent - Future, e.g. (Intense - tense)

4. Breathe - Robust (Inhale - hale)

5. Wound - Peer group (Injury - jury)

6. Encroach on - Benefit type (Infringe - fringe)

7. Hunch - College expense (Intuition - tuition)

8. New doctor - seabird (Intern - tern)
