Word Puzzles Round 2

More word puzzles to rack your brain

Second verse, same as the first. Only a bit harder:

For each set of words, there's another word with which each item can be paired to form a common word or phrase.. For example: light, menace, cross, herring, tape, and ant all pair with "red". But be careful -- the red herring in this example isn't the only one we've included!
