Question

1. the photograph here shows close in 1991 working on a self-portrait that has a similar (affect, effect); you can see that his style is bolder and more colorful.
2. at first glance, you may be surprised by his newer paintings and wonder where that computerlike quality (is, is at)!
3. however, you soon realize that close had never really gone (all the farther, as far as) he could with his grid technique and that his recent paintings are a logical extension of his earlier style.

Explanation:

Question 8

"Affect" is usually a verb meaning to influence, while "effect" as a noun means a result or impression. Here we need a noun to describe the result of the self - portrait's style, so "effect" is correct.

The phrase "computerlike quality" is a subject, and we need a verb to complete the predicate. "is" can be used as a linking verb here to describe the quality. "is at" is grammatically incorrect in this context as there is no appropriate prepositional object to follow "at".

"all the farther" is an incorrect phrase. "as far as" is used to indicate the extent or limit. The sentence means that Close had not reached the limit of what he could do with his grid technique, so "as far as" is the correct choice.

Answer:

effect
