7 and 8 -- correct

10 -- still needs re-thinking. Count syllables on each basic word:

reckless
close
high
yellow

Now which ONE is two syllables AND has -er or -est as a suffix?

close

Sorry -- my last post was wrong.

Which one has ONE syllable AND has -er or -est attached? Close is one syllable, but in that list does it have -er or -est attached?
