- The answer is
Mar
Ram is to push hard, mar is to spoil.
- The answer is
Draw
The synonym of stalemate is "draw", the anagram is "ward" and ward is a synonym for department
- The answer is:
Part
It's the only synonym for deviate I can think of that makes a real word when reversed, but "trap" doesn't really mean method.
However, I misread a bit, thanks @d'alar'cop "a synonym of "trap" is "stratagem" which is also a "method"."

1$\begingroup$ a synonym of "trap" is "stratagem" which is also a "method". you win. (see 3 again - it's a synonym of the reverse that you need to mean "method ") $\endgroup$ Nov 8, 2014 at 10:34

A previous answer gave apparently-correct results for parts 1 and 2, but missed out on part 3, which is:
yaw, “To swerve off course to port or starboard”, “To steer badly, zigzagging back and forth across the intended course” etc., thus analogous to deviate; and way, “A method or manner of doing something”, thus analogous to method.
