Read the text below and choose the word that fits best for each space.

Unfortunately, the image does not provide the answer options for each space in the text. To complete this task accurately, I would need the multiple-choice options (A, B, C, D) that correspond to each numbered gap in the text.

However, I can provide a general idea of the words that might fit based on the context:

1. considered
2. hated
3. Therefore
4. so that
5. was
6. ask
7. over
8. before
9. meal
10. As
11. the
12. many
13. take

Once I have the multiple-choice options, I can give you a more definitive answer.
