• A. put across
• B. put up with
• C. put on
• D. put up

Answer 1

Answer:

D. put up

Yes, the sentence can be correctly completed as:

"The government put up** tents to accommodate the refugees."**

### Explanation:

- "Put up" is a phrasal verb that means to erect, set up, or install something, in this case, the tents. It is commonly used when talking about setting something up temporarily, like tents or shelters.

- While "put up" works in this context, it's important to note that "put up" is used in the past tense here ("The government put up..."), implying the action was completed in the past.

Alternatively, if you want to keep it in the present tense, you could say:

- "The government puts up tents to accommodate the refugees."

Both are correct depending on the intended tense of the sentence.
