【解析】

试题分析：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。

【1】前后是转折关系。

【2】后面接的从句是她转行开始画画的原因，故用because。

【3】修饰谓语动词painted，作状语，用副词。

【4】由后文“开始卖作品给别人”可知，她最开始画画只是取悦“自己”。

【5】表示交换用for。sell sth.for意为“以多少钱卖某物”。

【6】此处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，故用现在分词短语作定语。

【7】buy与liked和set out并列作谓语，故时态也应一致。

【8】他喜欢她的画，所以他开始寻找“更多”Grandma Moses 的作品。

【9】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”。

【10】who引导定语从句并在从句中作主语，先行词是Grandma Moses。
