Effectuate means to put into force.

Compromise: to settle a dispute.

Compress means to press something together.

Commissive is to assign someone to the power.

Effected, comprehensive.

Explanation:

Worsley produced several safety-pins from some corner of his garments and effected some temporary repairs that really emphasized his general disrepair. Down we hurried, and when quite close to the station we met two small boys ten or twelve years of age. I asked these lads where the manager’s house was situated. They did not answer. They gave us one look—a comprehensive look that did not need to be repeated. Then they ran from us as fast as their legs would carry them.

The first word "effected" signifies the actual action of doing something, bringing about a change in something. While the second word "comprehensive" means the inclusion of everything, the complete 'package', a large scope. So, with the first word, we can know that he actually used the safety pins to alter make repairs. The next word shows that the look that the small boys gave them is a complete look that needs no further explanation. It's like their look says it all.
