Q1:"endure privation", "suffer from privation" --right collocation?

Q2: Any other words collocate with "privation"

Q3:Is it people seldom use "privation" in conversation or writing? When do you use it?

Q4: Is "probable" attributive, predicative or both?

Q5: Does "probable" collocate with "effect"?
