Questions 1-10 Complete the table below. Write one word and / or a number

 7 banking ‘politics’ and the idea of a ‘royal house’ 
might be tempting, but the source of the family’s 
wealth was ‘banking’. 
 8 windows ‘walls’ might be tempting but doesn’t 
make sense in this context, but ‘windows’ makes 
sense in terms of making the valuable collection 
safe and secure. 
 9 illustration ‘birds of paradise’ provides distraction 
here but the text about proving other researchers 
wrong does not make sense in this space because they 
were Worm’s contemporaries. Only the ‘illustration’ of 
the great auk was of value to later scientists.
10 pottery She translated ‘books’ but did not collect 
them. Only her ‘pottery’ was left to a museum. 
11 lectures The text does not say what happened to 
Mayer’s collection after he died. But his legacy was 
the public ‘lectures’ that he funded. 
12 fossils She donated most of her other collections to 
a museum, but not her ‘fossils’. 
13 stress The phrase ‘model ships, coins and artworks’ 
provides distraction, but none of these objects were 
relevant to his job as president.
