They find distasteful the contrast【C11】______this sort of money and the impoverished life of the painter【C12】______. Van Gogh, once a lay preacher among the miners of Belgium , was more【C13】______in producing work that dignified labor than he was in selling for a profit.

选项
A、competed
B、shouted
C、fought
