问题 Vain and prone to violence, Caravaggio could not handle success: the more his(i)______as an artist increased, the more(ii)______his life became.

选项

答案C,D

解析 In this sentence, what follows the colon must explain or spell out what precedes it. So roughly what the second part must say is that as Caravaggio became more successful, his life got more out of control. When one looks for words to fill the blanks, it becomes clear that "tumultuous" is the best fit for blank(ii), since neither of the other choices suggests being out of control. And for blank(i), the best choice is "eminence," since to increase in eminence is a consequence of becoming more successful. It is true that Caravaggio might also increase in notoriety, but an increase in notoriety as an artist is not as clear a sign of success as an increase in eminence.
Thus the correct answer is eminence(Choice C)and tumultuous(Choice D).
