Willard Wigan (born in 1957 in England) is the creator of the smallest works of art on Earth. His miniature sculptures include The Titanic on a pinhead, a cat on an eyelash and the six wives of Henry VIII in the eye of a needle. Some are so small that they fit on the full stop at the end of the sentence.
Wigan started making tiny things when he was a child. People made him feel small because he had learning difficulties, so he decided to show how significant small could be! How does he create his unbelievable micro-sculptures? He slows his breathing, then patiently sculpts or paints between heartbeats, so that his hand could stay perfectly still. He spends months carving his tiny creations from materials such as toothpicks, sugar crystals and grains of sand, then paints them with a tiny hair such as an eyelash. How do visitors to Willard Wigan’s exhibitions view his work? Through a microscope of course!
Как выбирать:
- После «a cat on an eyelash and…» идёт ещё один предмет из коллекции миниатюр — подходит B.
- «Started making tiny things…» требует обстоятельства времени — G: when he was a child.
- После «because» нужно объяснение причины — D: he had learning difficulties.
- «Then patiently…» описывает, как он работает, сохраняя руку неподвижной, — A: sculpts or paints between heartbeats.
- Перед «such as an eyelash» должно стоять существительное «a tiny hair»: «…with a tiny hair, such as an eyelash» — F.
Проверка: все вставленные фразы грамматически связаны с соседними словами и по смыслу продолжают рассказ о микроскульптурах. C и E не подходят ни по грамматике, ни по контексту.
