Which verb means to take on a posture for artistic purposes?

• A. Pose
• B. Positive
• C. Posterity
• D. Posthumous

Answer: (A)

Taking on a body position deliberately for art is described by the verb pose. When someone poses, they assume a specific stance or posture to be captured in a painting, photograph, or sculpture—an intentional setup for artistic effect. For example, a model might pose for a portrait to create a desired composition or mood.

The other terms don’t fit because they describe different ideas: positive means favorable or optimistic; posterity refers to future generations; posthumous describes something happening after death. None of these convey the act of intentionally adopting a posture for artistic purposes.
