Answer:

Matching Words with Definitions

1. To express indirectly; suggest

From the examples of "imply" (e.g., clues implying a murderer’s identity, a friend implying someone looks unwell), the word is imply.

1. Something that gets in the way; a barrier

From the examples of "obstacle" (e.g., obstacles on the floor, a barrier to a promotion), the word is obstacle.

1. One who claims to be something he or she is not; an insincere person

(Assuming the word is "hypocrite" or similar, but from context, this matches the definition of a person feigning identity. If from prior words, but based on standard vocabulary, this is typically "hypocrite," but since the original list includes words like "imply," "novice," etc., if this is part of the ten words (not fully shown), but logically, the word is hypocrite (or a similar term, but if from the given words, perhaps "imposter"—but following the pattern, this is likely a vocabulary word like "hypocrite" or "pretender," but assuming the ten words include this, the answer is the word matching this definition, e.g., hypocrite (or as per the text’s context, if "imposter" is an option, but since the text’s prior words don’t include it, this may be a missing word, but following the task, we use the definition to match. However, since the user’s text shows "Matching Words with Definitions" with ten words (some shown earlier: impact, imply, novice, obstacle), but the definitions include ten, so we proceed with the logical match.

1. A false impression; a mistaken view of reality

This matches "illusion" (or "misconception"). Logically, the word is illusion (or similar, e.g., "delusion").

1. To support; express approval of; to state in an ad that one supports a product or service, usually for a fee

This matches "endorse" (e.g., endorsing a product in an ad). The word is endorse.

1. Horrible; shocking; frightful

This matches "ghastly" (or "horrific"). The word is ghastly (or similar, e.g., "terrible").

1. A beginner; someone new to a field or activity

From the examples of "novice" (e.g., a father new to tennis, a novice runner), the word is novice.

1. The force of one thing striking another

From the examples of "impact" (e.g., impact of hitting glass, impact of a punch), the word is impact.

1. To gradually wear (something) away

This matches "erode" (e.g., eroding rock, wearing away over time). The word is erode.

1. Tending to emphasize ideals and principles over practical concerns

This matches "idealistic" (or "utopian"). The word is idealistic (or similar, e.g., "idealist").
