I'm having a terrible time with this today. I cannot get 2A, poor worker on the land, 7 letters, P?A?A??
which leads into
6D, enliven, 7 letters, which I have as ANIMATE
and
7D, freshwater fish, 5 letters, ??G?H

All this is based on
8A, questioning, 13 letters, which I have as INTERROGATING

Am I way off? Thanks.

peasant

PEASANT

Would "interrogatION" allow TENCH?

fish is tench

7d perch?

Yes, it all came out when I got peasant. I can't believe I didn't think of that.

Thanks.
