Answer 1

Write the verbs in the correct form.

The greatest names (1) are often ... with an unhappy life (connected). Rembrandt was born in the 17th century in a little town in holland. His talent for art (2) was ... when he was still a boy (seen); and for a few years he (3) was ... by well-known masters of art (taught). He was asked to paint many portraits of rich people. In those days people expected painters to make them beautiful. But Rembrandt refused to tell lies. So fewer people asked Rembrandt to paint their portraits. He became poorer. Many years passed before Rembrandt's work (4) was (discovered). But today the name of Rembrandt (5) is (known) all over the world.

Answer 2

1. are often connected
2. began when he was still a boy (see)
3. was taught by well-known masters of art
4. was discovered
5. is known all over the world

Note: In the second verb, "began" is used instead of "was" to create a more coherent sentence. Also, "see" is used in the past simple form since it indicates an action that happened when he was a boy. In the fourth verb, "was" is used instead of "is" since the context is in the past.
