Explanation:

1. For "munity", add "com -" to get "community" as it starts with a non - specified special letter and "com -" is used.
2. For "rect", add "cor -" (since it starts with 'r') to get "correct".
3. For "centrate", add "con -" to get "concentrate".
4. For "puter", add "com -" to get "computer".
5. For "sider", add "con -" to get "consider".
6. For "lection", add "col -" (as it starts with 'l') to get "collection".
7. For "clusion", add "con -" to get "conclusion".
8. For "municate", add "com -" to get "communicate".
9. For "talner", assuming it's a mis - write of "tainer", add "con -" to get "container".
10. For "fusion", add "con -" to get "confusion".

For the sentences:

1. "communicate" fits as it means to exchange information.

5. "conclusion" is what is written at the end of an essay.
