 Sentence Completion-


Derren Brown – illusionist, mentalist, hypnotist and more – is always anxious that no details should be leaked about his astounding onstage feats. He has been touring with his current show, Svengali, since March last year, so you’d think the diehard Derrenistas would have seen it all by now, but Brown daren’t risk damaging his carefully wrought mystique.“You’re not going to talk about this in the article, are you?” he asks, when I quiz him about a detail of the show I’d seen in Aylesbury. It concerned the eerie mechanical doll that features in his act. “Because I can’t mention anything about the show, if that’s all right. It’s important that when people come, the surprises will work.” ________________________.

1.)I hadn’t expected Derren Brown to be so analytical and introspective. In performance, he’s knowing, sardonic, even slightly sadistic, and effortlessly in command of his material and his audience.

2.)The lack of authenticity of magic and illusion is known to all and by not talking about it, Derren Brown is further complicating matters and not doing his reputation any good.

3.)Perhaps basing your career on deception and illusion can have an undermining effect and can lead the very best of us to doubt our own selves.

4.)The magician’s fear of exposure is only natural. Since he isn’t genuinely psychic, if we start poking around in the machinery and taking his tricks to bits, the illusion is destroyed.

RC : Throughout his life, but especially towards its end in 1883, that lion of early modernism, Edouard Manet, loved to paint still lifes. Even in his portraits, his arrangements of things—books, bottles, crockery, flowers, food—are given a prominence that nearly puts them on par with people. His art wasn’t dominated by still life, as Cubism would be; but the inanimate has a large and vital presence in his work. That much is evident from the beautiful show at the Walters Art Museum in Baltimore, U.S., curated by George Maunet, “Manet: The Still-Life Paintings.” What one might not have realised before, though, is the role that still life, and especially the painting of flowers, played as an expressive consolation to him in his last years.


Manet’s paintings rarely sold (luckily, he had some money of his own). For most of his short career—he was 51 when he died—he was ferociously assailed by nearly every critic and journalist in Paris. (Some of them actually liked his still lifes and reserved their scorn for his portraits and figures.) His greatest paintings, Olympic, and Le Dejeuner sur l’Herbe, which today are among the unquestioned masterpieces of the 19th century and are seen by many as the twin pillars that mark and hold up the entrance to modernism, were pilloried by every man of taste and jeered at by spectators.



QUES-- By the sentence “luckily, he had some money of his own” in the second paragraph, the author wants to suggest that: 


1. painting was not the only source of income for Edouard Manet.


2. Manet could not have been able to sustain himself properly.


3. Manet would have had to give up painting had he not had some inheritance.


4.all of the above.

Does this seem grammatically correct?
