选项 A、with
B、into
C、out into
D、in
答案 B
解析 语法类试题(固定搭配)；上下文类试题。A项burst with“饱满，满盈”，如：They were burstingwith happiness．他们乐不可支。B项burst into“突然发生”，如：burst into tears／song／angry speech。C项burstout into“大声地说，咆哮地说”，如：He burst out into threats．他突然大声威胁。D项burst in“突然插嘴，突然进入”，如：Stop him bursting in．别让他打岔。由上下文可知，音乐剧在1943年突然流行起来，所以应为burst into popularity。
