Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation: When the fragments are arranged with the introductory phrase "It ought not to be thought surprising" first, followed by the clause beginning "that the rulers of a civil society should", then "have the welfare and", and finally "Glory of their communities at heart", they form a complete sentence:
It ought not to be thought surprising that the rulers of a civil society should have the welfare and glory of their communities at heart.
The phrase "It ought not to be thought surprising" correctly introduces the sentence and leads into a subordinate clause introduced by "that".
The clause "have the welfare and glory of their communities at heart" completes the thought, giving the object of the subordinate clause.
