Okay you are doing well guys ..Here is a couple of hints that may help you solve number 9 and 10

9. Pronounce 'a gent' phonetically, as one word.

10 A relit resurgence nut would give you the answer

[munruben]

Seems like 9 and 10 were a bit difficult so here are the answers to them just for the record.

9. Silver Quandong

10. Structural engineer.

Here is an explanation to the clue for number 9. ‘a gent’ sounds like argent = silver. Part circle = quadrant; half = quad. Colloquial dimwit = nong. Quad & nong rearranged = quandong
