He didn’t know any of the people before taking the photos, but many of them became his friends afterwards, with some even putting him      [up, on, out, over] when he had nowhere to stay.

Complete the text with the correct option.

He takes the pictures in order to show how the food we eat is connected to personality and how people live their lives.

Rather than       [break, lose, throw, stop] touch with the people he’d visited, Mark often goes back to see how their lives change over the years. When I finally met Mark, he also           [explained, said, told, claimed] me that his life has also changed.
