1. attention extra credit: The "at" part means "towards", and the "ten" part means "to stretch or extend." So if you are paying attention, you are stretching toward something. Tension and tense come from the same word part as the "ten" part of attention.
2. population -- extra credit: "pop" means "people."
3. operation -- extra credit: "oper" means "work."
4. transportation -- extra credit: "trans" means "across." "port" means "carry."
