Question

pablo picasso is often considered one of the greatest and most influential artists of the twentieth century. as a young child, picasso displayed an exceptional talent for drawing and painting. his extraordinary skill allowed him to enter barcelonas prestigious school of fine arts when he was only fourteen years old—several years younger than the typical students at this well - regarded school. although picasso left barcelona before graduating, the city still inspired him. his experiences there would lead him to break away from traditional ideas about art and create a new style that would change the world of art forever.
picassos rise to prominence began in 1907. while living in paris, he produced a painting that featured five barcelonian women represented by sharply contrasting geometric shapes. instead of a realistic representation of the women, the painting presented an abstract scene showing the womens forms from multiple viewpoints at once. that the art world had never seen such a painting before only added to picassos growing popularity. this painting, les demoiselles davignon, would serve as the inspiration for the artistic movement that came to be known as cubism.
what is the meaning of prominence as used in the passage?
power or authprity
victory
financial success
the state of being well known

Explanation:

The text states that after Picasso created Les Demoiselles d'Avignon, "the art world had never seen such a painting before only added to Picasso's growing popularity". The word "prominence" is related to his increasing popularity (the state of being well - known). The other options like "power or authority", "victory", and "financial success" are not supported by the context of the passage which focuses on his growing fame in the art world.

Answer:

the state of being well known
