7 banking

‘politics’ and the idea of a ‘royal house’ might be tempting, but the source of the family’s wealth was ‘banking’.

8 windows

‘walls’ might be tempting but doesn’t make sense in this context, but ‘windows’ makes sense in terms of making the valuable collection safe and secure.

9 illustration

‘birds of paradise’ provides distraction here but the text about proving other researchers

10 pottery

She translated ‘books’ but did not collect them. Only her ‘pottery’ was left to a museum.

11 lectures

The text does not say what happened to Mayer’s collection after he died. But his legacy was the public ‘lectures’ that he funded.

12 fossils

She donated most of her other collections to a museum, but not her ‘fossils’.

13 stress

The phrase ‘model ships, coins and artworks’ provides distraction, but none of these objects were relevant to his job as president.
