Can anyone explain please?
1. Find me in engine, as arranged - that avoids stress at the end of the line - FEMININE ENDING
2. Complete return of schoolwork, perhaps, after taking leave - CONGENITAL
3. State support raised for star - RIGEL

1 is an anagram.Female ending is a grammatical term that relates to the gender stress at the end of a word.
3 RI=rhode island=state =leg/support backwards

2. Conge is apparently the act of taking leave (new to me!) with latin (schoolwork) backward. Complete seems an odd definition of congenital

In the old days, if you were given your "conge" you were literally kicked out

p.s. the "e" in conge had an accent on it.

Because it's a French word you stupid woman.
