1 raw: This is the right answer. Food that is "raw" has not been cooked. For example, raw tomatoes are great for you, but raw meat is usually not. Example: "Send this steak back to the kitchen! It's raw!".
2 hung up: This is the correct answer. To "hang up" a telephone is to end a telephone conversation. Originally, it meant that you placed, or "hung up" the handset on the receiver. The verb "to hang (up)" is irregular: hang up/hung up/hung up.
3 shift: This is a correct answer. A shift is a period of time worked, often around eight hours for full-time employees. To be "at the end of your shift" is to be almost finished working, about ready to go home. The term "shift" is generally used to refer to the working hours of people in the service industry (bar and restaurant workers) or laborers (e.g. factory workers).
