单选题 Despite a widespread tendency to romanticize Van Gogh"s ill health, modern critics see an artist deeply frustrated by the inactivity and incoherence brought about by his bouts of illness.
【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】解析：句意：尽管很多人将梵高的不健康传奇化，而现代批评家看到的是一位被病痛折磨的艺术家，疾病的发作使他很少活动且精神混乱。bout意为“(疾病)发作”，只有attack有“疾病发作”之意，与其意义接近，故选A。hoarding“积聚”；recovery“康复”；vulnerability“脆弱”。
