The last ten turns showed qualities performers need (7)
I believe the answer is:
talents
'showed qualities performers need' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'the last ten turns' is the wordplay.
'turns' indicates anagramming the letters.
'last'+'ten'='lastten'
'lastten' anagrammed gives 'TALENTS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for talents that I've seen before include "Gifts, abilities" , "Last ten (anag.)" , "Skills" , "Special aptitudes" , "endowments" .)
