1. I enjoyed my job as a village reporter for the local newspaper. But I felt the same about Neil Lomax, the photographer. He had been working for the newspaper longer than I had (I was just a beginner) and he definitely had a way with a camera. His photos were much better than the ones I had seen before in other papers. By the way, many villagers would buy "The Standard", our newspaper, just to see his photos. But it wasn't that I couldn't trust Neil.

In this text, we are given a paragraph and we need to fill in the blanks with the appropriate forms of the words provided on the right side. Let's go step by step to solve this task:

1. Looking at the first blank, we need to choose a verb that fits the context. The word "feeI" does not fit the context as it relates to emotions. The correct word is "felt" as it expresses the past tense of feeling.

2. Moving to the second blank, we need to choose a verb that means the opposite of "enjoyed" or "liked." The correct word is "did not" as it expresses the negative form of liking.

3. The next blank requires a verb that means "worked" in the past tense. The correct word is "had worked" as it expresses the past perfect tense.

4. The fourth blank asks for a comparative form of "good" to describe the photographs. The word provided is "better" which is the correct form.

5. Moving to the fifth blank, we need to choose the appropriate verb in the past tense. The word provided is "seen" which is the correct form of the verb "see" in the past tense.

6. The sixth blank asks for a preposition that connects the word "before" to the phrase "in other papers." The correct preposition is "in."

7. The next blank requires a noun that refers to the newspaper mentioned in the paragraph. The word provided is "newspa" which is an incomplete form of the word "newspaper." We need to add the letters "per" to complete the word as "newspaper."

8. The eighth blank requires the pronoun starting with a capital "I" to refer to the speaker. The correct word is "I" which is the first person singular pronoun.

9. The final blank requires the verb that expresses the inability to trust Neil. The word provided is "not help" which is the correct phrase to convey the meaning of not being able to trust someone.

By filling in these words, the completed paragraph should read as follows:

I enjoyed my job as a village reporter for the local newspaper. But I did not feel the same about Neil Lomax, the photographer. He had worked for the newspaper longer than I had (I was just a beginner) and he definitely had a way with a camera. His photos were much better than the ones I had seen before in other papers. By the way, many villagers would buy "The Standard", our newspaper, just to see his photos. But I couldn't trust Neil.

I hope this explanation helps you understand how to solve this type of question.
