oh dear. I could , of course, puff up my own ego by making your sentences for you since I do know the meaning of all the words except one (which I can easily find out by checking any paper dictionary or online dictionary).
However, I really think that you should be doing this homework yourself instead of abdicating your responsibility for your own development.
I don't mean to nag, but this is for your own good.
There are too many words you have put in your question and it is clear that you have little motivation to try answering your questions yourself first...
Try it. Even if you don't get to use ALL the words correctly, at least you will make SOME sentences correctly. And you will remember how to use those words better next time!
If we spoonfeed you, you will not learn those words.

Oh, right, do my homework for me. That'll do you a lot of good, now won't it? You couldn't look up these words in like a dictionary and fit them into your own sentences by yourself? So you will learn how to make sentences and learn the meaning of words and learn how to do homework? And do you think that getting other people to make it look like you learned things when you didn't is going to work out for you in life? Nag, nag, nag, nag, nag, nag.....
