2. declaration _

6. invade _

Explanation:

For each word, we either remove the final stable syllable (-tion, -sion, -le) to get a new word. For example, "observation" has the -tion ending. Removing it gives "observe" (from the spelling words list). Similarly, "declaration" has -tion, removing it gives "declare" (from the list). "Extension" has -sion, removing it gives "extend" (from the list). "Occupy" can have -ation added (from the concept of final stable syllables) to get "occupation" (in the list). "Collide" can have -sion added (as per the syllable rules) to get "collision" (in the list). "Invade" can have -sion added to get "invasion" (in the list).

Answer:

1. observe
2. declare
3. extend
4. occupation
5. collision
6. invasion
