Answer: permissible

Generally speaking "permissible" is defined as "that is allowed or permitted".

Permissible actions can vary from society to society, religion to religion, political practices and age based.

Answer: dismissed

When you are fired from your employment it is known as being dismissed. Dismissed can also mean to be ordered away or to leave, used extensively in the military. On the other hand it can also mean that you will not take notice of something as you will dismiss it as being unimportant or not relevant, such as, people dismissed the threat of serious disease coming from the polluted river.
7. I am extremely happy as I have the chance to see my favourite band in live action at a concert in my home city. I do not have a special ticket but have gained access by way of a general - what?

Answer: admission

Admission has a number of explanations. It can mean "permissiom" to enter a premises, giving you the right to enter or authority to enter a premises, but it also can mean to earn the price required for an entrance fee and thereby giving your admission to the venue.
8. I am excited, I have just joined a drawing artist group. We use pencils made of what substance?

Answer: graphite

The pencil of choice is a graphite pencil, made of graphite embedded in a wooden shaft.
The main benefit of using a graphite pencil is its ability to be erased. If you need to change your drawing or change your figures, a simple erasing will ensure there is no evidence of the previous entry.
9. At art classes I got very distracted from drawing a masterpiece by talking to my neighbouring budding artist. I was involved in?

Answer: chitchat

Chitchat is considered light conversational chatting with people at the same social occasion.

Answer: misspelt

Any words that are not correct in their spelling are either misspelt or misspelled. Generally speaking, the term misspelled is used in America whilst misspelt is used in Britain. Misspelled is becoming more universally accepted as it consists of two words, to make a compound word, that being "mis" and "spell"; whereas spelt only considered as past tense and past participle form of spell. On the other hand, interestingly, spelt is also known as an ancient wheat product.
