Passage 1: henry moore (1898 – 1986 )

Answer: resignation.

9. Answer: materials

Key words: turns to, drawing, sculpting, not, available

Moving on to the 1940s, paragraph 8 mentions: “A shortage of materials forced him to focus on drawing”. This means that Moore focused on drawing because materials for sculpting were not available.

• 
  turn to = focus on
  

• 
  not available = shortage
  

• 
  Answer: materials.
  

10. Answer: miners

Key words: visiting, hometown, drawings

We know from the start of the passage that Moore’s hometown was named Castleford, so we should be looking for this proper noun. In paragraph 8 we find: “In 1942, he returned to Castleford to make a series of sketches of the miners who worked there”.

• 
  some drawings ~ a series of sketches
  

• 
  Answer: miners.
