To create a smaller scale drawing of Li's original photograph, we need dimensions that are less than the original dimensions of 6 inches by 4 inches.

Let's evaluate the options provided:

  1. 12 inches by 8 inches - This is larger than the original dimensions (6 inches by 4 inches), so it does not represent a smaller scale drawing.

  2. 1 inch by 0.5 inches - This is smaller than the original dimensions.

  3. 1.5 inches by 1 inch - This is also smaller than the original dimensions.

  4. 2 inches by 1 inch - This is also smaller than the original dimensions.

Among the provided responses, the smaller scale drawings are:

  • 1 inch by 0.5 inches
  • 1.5 inches by 1 inch
  • 2 inches by 1 inch

Any of these options would represent a smaller scale drawing of the original photograph.
