Hint
The title is a hint.Answer
Each word in the series may be preceded by the first letter of the sequence of words, "one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight" (the numbers 1 through 8) respectively.So, the first word in the series, "pen", may be preceded by "o" (the first letter of "one") to form the word "open". The second word in the series, "here", may be preceded by "t" (the first letter of "two") to form the word "there", and so on.
Thus, the resultant words are:
pen ==> open
here ==> there
rust ==> trust
right ==> fright
lower ==> flower
harp ==> sharp
mall ==> small
and the answer word and its corresponding resultant word are:
vent ==> event
