【解析】

1.who/that考察引导词。who/that引导的从句修饰artist，并在从句中做主语。文意是Gregory Kloehn是以为艺术家，他用的他的技巧在做一件有价值的事情，为无家可归的人建造房子。

2.of考察介词。the size of是固定搭配表示“......的尺寸”，文意是他把大街上找到的材料循环利用，他制造可移动的房子，尺寸就像沙发一样大。

3.Wheels考察名词。Wheel是名词轮子的意思。根据文意房子的轮子不只是一个，所以应该用复数形式。文意是这些房子都有防雨的房顶，并且在底部有轮子方便移动。

4.more考察比较级。More是much的比较级结构。文意是他希望在将来能够建造更多的房子。

5.Although/While/Though考察连词。Although/While/Though表示“尽管、然而”的意思。文意是虽然制作的不多，但这些小房子对于那些无家可归的人来说已经足够了。

6.to sleep 考察不定式。with no other place可看做的是插入语。所以句子就成为了for someone to sleep in，为了让人们能够谁在里面。

7.was考察谓语动词。realized是过去时，而在我雕刻之前也应该用过去时。

8.better考察比较级。better表示“更好地”，文意是我认为如果你投入更多有价值的东西，那样或许会更好，有比较的意味，所以要用比较级。

9.wrote考察谓语动词。他写书是发生在过去，所以要用过去时。文意是他写了一本书名为Homeless Architecture at the time。

10.
