Meta Prompt
Two entries in this puzzle are a little off. A word should go after one of the answers, and that same word should come before another puzzle answer. What's the missing word? (The original idea for this type of puzzle came from DameFox and I became addicted 😄.)

    Thanks! I think ASTUTE might better be clued as "Able ..." than as "The ability ..."
