In English, “re” is a prefix usually meaning “again”, such as in “rebuild” (build again). However, there are many words starting with “re” which have a totally different meaning without the “re”.

You will be given two definitions, one for a word starting with “re”, and one for the remaining word without the “re” (either definition could be given first).

Example: vehicle wheel / cease employment
Answer: tire / retire

1. newspaper employee / hotel employee
2. one who belongs / bring past event to mind
3. unit of money / not long ago
4. money for the poor / kingdoms
5. income / event location
6. couple / fix
7. arrived at / felt long-term pain
8. at ease / cause sharp pain
