Correct answer: known

Explanation: The word 'known' is the past participle form of the verb 'know,' which fits grammatically as it describes Tang Yin's identity in a passive construction. The context indicates that he is recognized by another name, making 'known' the appropriate choice.

Meaning: 'Known' refers to being recognized or identified by a particular name or title.

Wrong options:

  • do: The word 'do' is a verb that does not fit in this context, as it does not convey recognition or identity.
  • eccentric: The word 'eccentric' is an adjective that describes a peculiar or unconventional behavior, which does not relate to the identification of Tang Yin.
  • legends: The word 'legends' is a noun that refers to traditional stories, which does not fit grammatically as it does not describe his identity.
  • like: The word 'like' is a preposition or conjunction that indicates similarity, which does not fit the context of naming.
  • make: The word 'make' is a verb that does not relate to the concept of being recognized or identified.
  • Normal: The word 'Normal' is an adjective that describes something typical or standard, which does not apply to the context of naming.
  • Unlike: The word 'Unlike' is a preposition that indicates contrast, which does not fit in the context of identifying Tang Yin.
Correct answer: eccentric

Explanation: The term 'eccentric' is an adjective that describes a lifestyle that is unconventional or peculiar. This fits contextually as it describes Tang Yin's way of living, which is notable and aligns with the sentiment of the passage.

  • like: The word 'like' is a preposition or conjunction that indicates similarity, which does not apply to describing a lifestyle.

Correct answer: legends

Explanation: The word 'legends' is a plural noun that refers to traditional stories or myths, which fits contextually as it describes the tales surrounding Tang Yin's life. This aligns with the idea of his eccentric lifestyle being noteworthy.

Meaning: 'Legends' refers to stories that are passed down through generations, often containing elements of truth and fiction.

Wrong options:

Correct answer: Unlike

Explanation: The word 'Unlike' is a preposition that introduces a contrast, which fits grammatically and contextually as it sets up a comparison between Tang Yin and other artists of his time. This aligns with the narrative of his unique approach to selling art.

Meaning: 'Unlike' indicates a difference or contrast between two subjects.

Wrong options:

  • do: The word 'do' is a verb that does not fit in this context, as it does not introduce a contrast.
