Below is a text with blanks. Click on each blank, a list of choices will appear. Select the appropriate choice for each blank.
Imagine  weaving  through  the  city's  concrete  jungle,  camera  in  hand.  You're  not  just  a  tourist  catching  selfies,  you're  a  street  photographer,  hunting  for  raw  moments  and  telling  the  city's  story.  But  this  chase  comes  with  its  own  set  of  .  First,  there  are  the  legal  hoops.  Privacy  laws  and  copyright  rules  can  trip  you  up  fast.  Asking  for  permission,  especially  when  emotions  run  high,  requires  tact  and  respect.  It's  a  constant  balance  between  capturing  the  real  and  respecting  .  Tech,  while  handy,  throws  its  own  curveballs.  The  flood  of  images  online  makes  standing  out  tough.  Finding  your  unique  voice,  cutting  through  the  noise,  and  making  your  work    takes  constant  reinvention  and  self-reflection.  So,  the  next  time  you  see  a  photographer  navigating  the  urban  maze,  remember  the  challenges  they  face.  Their  lens  is  a  window  into  the  city's  heartbeat,  capturing  fleeting  moments  that  would    be  lost.  Respect  their  dedication,  for  they  are  the  storytellers  of  the  streets,  preserving  the  ever-evolving  story  of  life  on  the  streets.

Correct answer: hurdles

Explanation: The word 'hurdles' fits grammatically as it refers to obstacles or challenges that one must overcome, which aligns with the context of street photography. The phrase 'comes with its own set of hurdles' indicates that there are difficulties involved in this pursuit.

Meaning: 'Hurdles' means obstacles or challenges that need to be overcome, often used in contexts where one faces difficulties in achieving a goal.

Wrong options:

  • bundles: 'Bundles' refers to collections or groups of items, which does not convey the idea of challenges or obstacles in this context.
  • puddles: 'Puddles' are small pools of water, which are unrelated to the concept of challenges faced by a street photographer.
  • huddles: 'Huddles' implies a gathering of people or things closely together, which does not fit the context of facing challenges in photography.
Correct answer: boundaries

Explanation: The word 'boundaries' is appropriate as it refers to limits or borders that should be respected, particularly in the context of privacy and personal space when photographing individuals.

Meaning: 'Boundaries' means the limits of what is acceptable or permissible, especially regarding personal space and privacy.

Wrong options:

  • backgrounds: 'Backgrounds' refers to the scenery behind the main subject, which does not relate to the concept of respecting limits in photography.
  • edges: 'Edges' typically refer to the outer limits of an object or area, which does not convey the idea of personal or legal limits in this context.
  • shallows: 'Shallows' refers to areas of water that are not deep, which is irrelevant to the discussion of respecting personal boundaries in photography.
Correct answer: matter

Explanation: The word 'matter' fits well as it conveys the importance or significance of the photographer's work. The phrase 'making your work matter' indicates that the goal is to create impactful photography.

Meaning: 'Matter' means to be of importance or significance, suggesting that the photographer's work should have value and impact.

Wrong options:

  • prove: 'Prove' means to demonstrate the truth or existence of something, which does not fit the context of making work significant.
  • falter: 'Falter' means to hesitate or waver, which is contrary to the idea of making work impactful.
  • encroach: 'Encroach' means to intrude on someone's territory or rights, which does not align with the goal of making work significant.
Correct answer: otherwise

Explanation: The word 'otherwise' fits grammatically and contextually as it indicates an alternative situation. The phrase 'that would otherwise be lost' suggests that without the photographer's efforts, these moments would not be captured.

Meaning: 'Otherwise' means in a different situation or under different circumstances, implying that without the photographer, these moments would not exist.

Wrong options:

  • except: 'Except' indicates exclusion, which does not fit the context of capturing moments that would be lost without photography.
  • so far: 'So far' refers to a time frame up to the present, which does not convey the idea of moments being lost without intervention.
  • despite: 'Despite' indicates a contrast or concession, which does not align with the idea of capturing moments that would be lost.
