3.Output words in (1) as the inputs in (2)

Clearance→Clearanced

Disturbance→Disturbanced

Balance→Balanced

For the words Clearance→Clearanced and Disturbance→Disturbanced, these words are not well-formed and are not already-existing words. However, with Balance→Balanced, balanced is an already-existing word. Used as, I balanced school and work well (example.) With these words the two affixes are -ance and -ed. So for two words (Clearance→Clearanced & Disturbance→Disturbanced) I noticed that it didn’t make this process work but, for Balance→Balanced it did because we know balanced is an already-existing word.
