    $\begingroup$ @PeterTaylor In line with the common usage nature of the other words, I believe that the first blank in #6 shouldn't start with an 'a' (and that this is a typo in the question). $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ In no 6, if both anagrams had the additional 'a' , then that 'a' wouldn't be needed in the type. Something's awry. $\endgroup$

    Aug 3, 2018 at 9:15
  • $\begingroup$ @Tim, that's why it's trollish. But it's the only suggestion I've seen in this thread which doesn't rely on OP having made two mistakes in the same subquestion. However, looking at OP's comments on another answer, it seems that they did make two mistakes on #6. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ @PeterTaylor - yet OP says it's correct? I rarely downvote, but with many mistakes, and words that aren't anagrams due to extra letters needed, this is one occasion. I generally leave reasons for downvoting, unlike most... Dammit - the system won't let me!! $\endgroup$

Since some others are posting partial answers, here are mine.

3 Whenever John asks too many _____s, his father says, "____ ____"

QUESTION, QUIET SON

4 Moe went into his Grandfather's _____, to read, but everything in there was very ______.

STUDY, DUSTY

7 When the last few contestants were still standing, Mark look up to the competition and said "Then ____ were ____".

THERE, THREE

And some that are wrong if they are right (if you see what I mean); I bet this just indicates that my "solutions" are not the intended ones, but you never know...

3 Jim does not like driving downtown because there are so many ____s where he has to ____.

STREET, STEER [second is missing a T]

though it works better if there is a "to" after the first blank.
