Directions to Solve
Read each definition and all four choices carefully, and find the answer that provides the best example of the given definition.

5.
Posthumous Publication occurs when a book is published after the author's death. Which situation below is the best example of Posthumous Publication ?
Richard's illness took his life before he was able to enjoy the amazing early reviews of his novel.
Melissa's publisher cancels her book contract after she fails to deliver the manuscript on time.
Clarence never thought he'd live to see the third book in his trilogy published.
Elizabeth is honored with a prestigious literary award for her writing career and her daughter accepts the award on behalf of her deceased mother.
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Although choice d also mentions a writer who has died, it does not state that one of the writer's books was published after her death, only that she received an award. Choice a states that Richard wasn't around to see the early reviews of his novel, therefore implying that Richard died before the book was published. The other two options depict living writers.

Option D would be correct guess as per my point of understanding.

In option A, nowhere it is mentioned as published. Only mentioned that the author did not enjoy the reviews of the book. This means here we need to assume two situations:

1. The book might not yet published after his death.

2. The book might have been published when the author is alive and was deceased before the book got good reviews from the readers.
