Explanation:

To solve this, we match each definition with the correct word by analyzing their meanings:

1. "to force or strongly suggest someone does something" → compel (compel means to force or urge someone to act).
2. "the quality of spending money in a recklessly lavish way" → prodigality (prodigality refers to wasteful or excessive spending).
3. "to make a high - pitched yowling or wailing noise like that of a cat" → caterwauling (caterwauling is the act of making a cat - like wailing sound).
4. "compose, perform, or produce something such as music or a speech without preparation; to improvise" → extemporize (extemporize means to create or perform without prior preparation).
5. "lightheartedness or lack of seriousness" → levity (levity is the state of being light - hearted or not serious).
6. "to do with sincerity" → earnestly (earnestly means to do something with sincerity and seriousness).
7. "to have a tendency or disposition to do or be something" → incline (incline means to have a tendency towards something).
8. "minuscule; as tiny as can be" → infinitesimal (infinitesimal means extremely small, almost negligible).
