Explanation:

To solve the word - form transformation for each word, we analyze the parts of speech (noun, verb, adjective, adverb) based on word - building rules (like suffix addition: - ion for noun, - ize/- ed for verb, - ive/- ous for adjective, - ly for adverb, etc.).

8. Radical

• Noun: The noun form of “radical” is “radicalism” (it can also be “radical” as a noun referring to a person with radical ideas, but “radicalism” is a more typical noun form denoting the ideology).
• Verb: There is no common verb form for “radical” in standard English. If we consider a derived verb, it could be “radicalize” (to make something or someone radical).
• Adjective: The adjective form is “radical” (e.g., “a radical idea”).
• Adverb: The adverb form is “radically” (e.g., “He changed his plan radically”).

9. Rationalize

• Noun: The noun form is “rationalization” (formed by adding “- ation” to the verb “rationalize”).
• Verb: The verb form is “rationalize” (the base verb, meaning to justify or explain in a rational way).
• Adjective: The adjective form is “rational” (or “rationalizable” if we consider the ability to be rationalized; “rational” is more common, meaning based on reason).
• Adverb: The adverb form is “rationally” (formed by adding “- ly” to the adjective “rational”).

10. Subside

• Noun: The noun form is “subsidence” (formed by adding “- ence” to the verb “subside”, referring to the act of subsiding).
• Verb: The verb form is “subside” (the base verb, meaning to sink down or decrease).
• Adjective: The adjective form is “subsiding” (a present - participle form used as an adjective, e.g., “the subsiding flood”) or “subsidiary” (though “subsidiary” has a slightly different meaning, related to being subordinate; “subsiding” is more directly related to the verb “subside”).
• Adverb: There is no common adverb form for “subside” in standard English. If we force a form, it could be “subsidedly” but this is non - standard. Usually, we would use an adverb phrase like “in a subsiding manner”.
