Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is SQRP.
Explanation
Rule: A sentence must flow logically from its main subject to its principal verb, followed by modifying phrases arranged to avoid dangling modifiers.
Formula: Subject (Ancient mythologies) + Verb Phrase (S) + Modifying Clauses (Q → R → P)
Application:
The main subject 'Ancient mythologies' requires a main verb phrase, which is found in S (have transcended time...).
Part Q (influencing modern...) immediately extends the impact of this transcendence.
Parts R and P create a perfect contrast pairing (preserving... while adapting...), rounding out the logical progression of the passage.
