回答：The painting_______ us wh one of the earliest examples of the use of perspective.A supplies B providesThere is only one answer - it is "B", i.e provideswangbeiqi456 is wrong. There is a subtle difference between "provide sb with sth." and "supply sb with sth.".........When you provide somebody with something, you are providing an item of goods (or a service) to somebody - at his disposal. The receiver may have never asked for the item (or service) which you provided to him. You provided the item (or service) to him out of your own free will, or purely your good intention which he never expected in the first place. It is up to him whether he decides to use it, to accept it or ignore it. The best example is "to provide someone an opportunity.....". The person may or may not have asked for the opportunity in the first instance. When you provide the opportunity to him, you may wish that he takes the opportunity. But it is entirely up to him whether he takes it or not. This is why you will never say (or write) "to supply someone an opportunity......".When you supply somebody with something, you are fulfilling a need. There is a specific requirement and you are meeting the requirement.On this basis, the answer to the question is "B".
