перевести и вставить нужные слова из двух вариантов.PERCEPTION OF GEOGRAPHY

A
common/general (1) mistake in hand-drawn maps is the tendency/trend
(2) to make Europe too large and Africa too small. People from all parts of
the world tend/pretend (3) to draw the world this way, including the
Africans. One of the facts/factors (4) involved
here is that old maps were drawn with “Mercator projection technology/technique (5)”,
which makes the areas nearer the North Pole including Europe seem
abnormally/normally
(6)
large. Other areas in the middle, such as
Africa, seem smaller than in reality/realization (7). However, the Mercator maps also enlarge Greenland and Canada, and
people usually do not make mistakes about their dimensions/diameter (8).
Thus, a better explanation must lie in people’s ideas about relative/relevant
(9) importance of the continents. The size of Europe tends to be exaggerated/deteriorated
(10) because of its importance in people’s minds. Similarly/Analogously
(11), Africa becomes smaller because people tend to underestimate/overestimate
(12) its importance.
