    Solution

    The phrasal verb "put forward" means to suggest or propose an idea, which does not fit the context of donating clothes. The correct phrase should be "put away," which means to store or set aside something, but in this case, the most appropriate phrasal verb would be "gave away" (which is not in the options).Put off – Means to postpone or delay (e.g., "They put off the meeting until next week.").Put across – Means to communicate an idea clearly (e.g., "He put across his views effectively.").Put in – Means to make an effort or contribute something (e.g., "She put in a lot of work for the project.").Put away – Means to store or set aside something.
