Each word on the left can be matched with one on the right according to a certain pattern. Can you match them up?

GUARD          OAT

DOSE              PAN

COVER           ALLY

CAUSE            LATE 

 

Answer:

 

Re-arranging the letters of the words on the left and pairing the results with the words on the right results in new words:

 

GRADU - ALLY - - - GRADUALLY

DESO - LATE - - - DESOLATE

OVERC - OAT - - - OVERCOAT

SAUCE - PAN - - - SAUCEPAN
