Question

select the text from the paragraph that best helps you understand that posthumous means happening after someones death. there may be more than one correct choice.

the nobel prize is considered the highest accolade for many disciplines. however, many critics have argued that the rules used by nobel prize selection committees have caused deserving individuals to be overlooked. one of the most controversial rules prohibits a single prize from being shared by more than three people. another contentious rule bans posthumous awards, or awards recognizing the work of individuals who are no longer living.

Explanation:

To understand that "posthumous" means happening after someone's death, we look for text that defines or explains it. The phrase "awards recognizing the work of individuals who are no longer living" clarifies the meaning of posthumous awards, as it connects the term to people who have died. Also, the part "bans posthumous awards, or awards..." uses "or" to provide a restatement, so the relevant text is "awards recognizing the work of individuals who are no longer living" (and also the structure around it that equates posthumous awards to those for the deceased).

Answer:

"awards recognizing the work of individuals who are no longer living" (also, the full relevant clause: "Another contentious rule bans posthumous awards, or awards recognizing the work of individuals who are no longer living" can be considered as the text that helps, with the key part being the explanation of posthumous awards as those for the deceased)
