And for the rest I can only try my luck.. :/

Oh, come one, DE. That's a little better but please don't expect us to do your homework for you.

This time around you got 7c right (though there is a mistake in number 7. It should read: purchases: things which have been bought.)

All the definitions I've provided below come courtesy of onelook.com. - the link I gave you earlier. They should help you complete most of the missing parts of this puzzle. (In some cases, more obvious definitions are available) - I'm surprised you didn't look for yourself.

1) proportion - a quantity of something that is a part or share of the whole
5) collusion - agreement on a secret plot
14) undertaking - any piece of work that is attempted
19) substantially - to a great or considerable extent
20) scale - a range of measurements in a particular system

i) important piece of work
k) secret agreement for dishonest purposes
m) part of a total
r) considerably
s) range

This will leave you with the only complicated sets of pairings. I think possibly the statements and answers have become confused, because 15 b and f all seem to go together, while 'exert', though linked to those, is slightly different.
