Read the passage below carefully and choose the correct answer a, b, c or d. When drawing human figures, children often make the head too large for the rest of the body. A recent study offers some insights into this common disproportion in children’s illustrations. As part of the study, researchers asked children between 4 and 7 years old to make several drawings of men. When they drew front views of male figures, the size of the heads was markedly enlarged. However, when the children drew rear views of men, the size of the heads was not so exaggerated. The researchers suggested that children drew bigger heads when they know they must leave room for facial details. Therefore, the odd head size in children’s illustrations is a form of planning ahead and not an indication of a poor sense of scale. 61. The main subject of the passage is ___________. a. what the results of an experiment revealed b. how children learn to draw c. how researchers can gather data from works of art d. What can be done to correct a poor sense of scale 62.
