# Brief Explanations:
For (1), "color" is a property of the car, so it fits. For (2), "default" is related to not making loan payments. For (3), when one defaults, the bank/dealer can "repossess" the car. For (4), "comprehend" makes sense as the notices were too complicated to understand. For (5), "in addition to" shows another debt. For (6), "fixed" amount is common in budgeting. For (7), "requirements" for the service. For (8), "constitute" as in what makes up the budget. For (9), "installment" payments. For (10), "contingency" situations.

(1) color
