1. seclusion
2. abound
3. piecemeal, random, or leisurely: All three of these fit in the
sentence, but since it talks about (not) all at once, piecemeal
is probably the best choice.
4. quest
5. turmoil
6. embezzle ?? the sentence needs different form: embezzling
7. rant ?? ditto above should be ranting
