Question

求英语大神解释此题，是A还是C我搞不明白。

　18. ______ after his death that he was recognized as a great composer.
　　A. It was not until B. It is until C. It was until D. Not until

Answer 1

现在A。
这里面的语法结构有：
it was.......that......强调句。
Not until 是一个倒桩。
如果翻译成正常的语序是： he was not recognized as a great composer until after his death.
他死后才被认为是一个伟大的作曲家。

Answer 2

A。
not until...that
强调句，省略it was 和that来看看吧。

意思为：直到他死后，他才被承认是一个伟大的作曲家。
