🔰 Other ways to say "I don't know".

The answer is 🅱

1⃣. We need a reduced passive clause here.
- Because the sentence was like:
🔹All buildings which have been built during ...
- And it is reduced to:
♦️All buildings built

2⃣. When we want to mention the reason of something we use the following words:
🔹To
🔸In order to
🔹So as to

♦️So the second blank should be filled with TO WITHSTAND

✔️Catch and Release

📚Meaning-To flirt with someone then stop when the person wants commitment. Catch and release is a dating term that refers to when someone flirts with a person then stops once she likes him back. It comes from the "catch and release" term associated with hunting and fishing for animals then releasing them after catching them.

People who like catch and release are known for liking the "chase" but not the commitment. Catch and release comes with a heightened level of excitement from the thrill of the chase. Things like flirty texts, alluring glances, and romantic gestures are a lot of fun but actually committing to a ship is too much to ask for.

〰🦋〰

〰🌸"He won't even return her texts.
Yeah, he's known for his love of the catch and release."

〰🌸Joey Tribbiani is well known for his catch and release attitude.
