maryl, your answer to I, above, was not what I had in mind. For one, you can certainly have a boar without a monkey!

ok this is a dumb answer!
I : the with's share atleast one letter with the without's.
like "err"or -- co"rre"ction,
a kn'o't -- a r'o'pe,
a kn'i'ght -- a b'i'shop,
a 't'oon -- an ar't'ist,
a b'o'ar -- a m'o'nkey..
If this is right,please ignore the first line

That's not what I had in mind, either!
Don't forget the general form of the attribute puzzle. All the items in the first list share a particular attribute. The second list is of some items lacking the attribute.

Nick, I changed my answer to I above, see if that makes any more sense.
