    Nope, I can't see how you get YEAST from that. I can see that the letters of YEAST are in the five lower entries in each pair, but I have no idea how you were supposed to know those were the significant letters.

      Did you notice anything about the upper pair?
      I'll explain.

      There are five entries that don't really fit the clues. In this version of the puzzle I marked the clues with asterisks but in the hardest version they are unmarked.
      a MAYFLY doesn't have mantis-like appendages, SEND doesn't really mean to signal, there never really were FADs about those stinky foods. To outdo ... well it is to BEST, but BEST doesn't indicate any particle activity that one is BESTing another in and "in an activity" was an essential part of the clue. And RETIRED doesn't mean "fixed and ready to use".
      These clues have mistakes and you must "rise above it all" to fix them
      If you rise above the middle Y in MA(Y)FLY you have the (NTIS) in deNTISt and if you replace the Y with that you have the correct answer MA(NTIS)FLY. Likewise S(E)ND becomes S(OU)ND, F(A)D becomes F(ETI)D, BE(S)T becomes BE(ATA)T and RE(T)IRED becomes RE(PA)IRED which all fit the clues better.
      So what was the "it all" you had to rise above? Y-E-A-S-T
