单选题 Van Gogh"s rise to______fame as one of the world"s great artists came despite the fact that he scarcely sold a single painting during his lifetime.
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】解析：句意：尽管凡高终其一生也没卖出去一张画，他死后却成功地跻身于世界顶级艺术家之列。本题主要考查的是“post-”做前缀构成的合成词。“postmodern”后现代， “posthumous”死后的、遗腹的， “postmortem”尸检， “posterior”在后的、其后的。B符合句意。
