答案

小题1:but 
小题1:because 
小题1:carefully 
小题1:herself 
小题1:for 
小题1:hanging
小题1: bought
小题1: more
小题1:a 
小题1:who

解析

本文主要讲述一位老奶奶76岁才开始学画画，并成为了美国最著名的艺术家之一的故事。
小题1:but 前后是转折关系。
小题1:because 后面接的从句是她转行开始画画的原因。从句也可视作时间状语从句，填when。
小题1: carefully 修饰谓语动词painted，作状语，用副词。
小题1:herself 由后文“开始卖作品给别人”可知，她先只是自己画给自己看，取悦于自己。
小题1: for 表示交换用for，sell sth. for…意为“以多少钱卖某物”。
小题1: hanging 是非谓语动词短语作定语，修饰名词works，因works与hang(悬挂)是主动关系，用现在分词短语作定语。
小题1: bought 与liked和set out并列，一起作谓语，时态也应一致。
小题1: more 因他喜欢她的画，所以他开始寻找“更多”Grandma Moses 的作品。
小题1:a 为了把Grandma Moses 的作品介绍给别的艺术家，所以他“举行了一次展览”。
小题1:who 引导定语从句并在从句中作主语，先行词是Grandma Moses。
