Strategy

1. Read the text through once.
2. Look at the parts of sentences 1–7.
3. Read the paragraph that contains the first gap and look for clues:
   • Are there any reference words to help you?
   • Is there a linking word before or after the gap?
4. Look for a clause that changes or continues the "flow".
5. When you've decided on the appropriate clause, check that it fits grammatically and follows the sense of the text.

Useful tips

• Recommended time—10 minutes.
• Remember, there is an extra clause there—just to confuse you!
• Pay attention to the words before and after the gap and punctuation.
• It is important to be able to follow the "flow" of a text and to understand how parts of a text are connected.

Have you ever thought that artists—even the greatest ones—were humans, first of all? On excursions to museums and art galleries, guides usually talk about specific masterpieces of a particular artist or sculptor but very rarely talk about A \(\underline{ }\) . Here we will tell you five non-trivial stories about famous painters and sculptors.

It is no coincidence that Vincent Van Gogh's later works were painted in yellow tones. The artist actually saw the world in such shades. All because he was taking B \(\underline{ }\) prescribed by his doctor because of the psychological health of Van Gogh. The medications influenced the artist's eyesight, and therefore the world around him was in yellow-green tones.

Since childhood, Maria Bashkirtseva wanted to become a singer and had C \(\underline{ }\) . However, tuberculosis, which she had gotten at the age of 16, ruined her dreams of a singing career.

One of the greatest sculptors in history, Michelangelo did not start his career most honestly. When he was 21, he decided to pass off his sculpture as an E \(\underline{ }\) and sell it at a higher price.

However, soon the deception was revealed, but the cardinal liked the sculpture so much that he offered Michelangelo a job.

Suzanne Valadon, the first woman to be admitted to the French Union of Artists, was the illegitimate daughter of a laundress. She began a career as a circus acrobat but was forced to end her circus career due to an injury.

She could work on her paintings for thirteen years before showing them to the public. She was a F \(\underline{ }\) woman. Contemporaries said that one day she appeared at an event with a bouquet of carrots. According to the artist herself, she kept a goat in her workshop, which she fed with her unsuccessful works, and she fed her cats with caviar on Thursdays.
