Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Correct order of segments: R (Whatever gods there be,), P (there is something godlike in man), S (as there is also something), Q (of the Devil in him).
Reasoning:
R (Whatever gods there be,) is an introductory clause that sets the context and therefore should come first.
P (there is something godlike in man) is the main clause that states the primary idea and follows the introduction.
S (as there is also something) introduces a comparison and therefore precedes the phrase that completes that comparison.
Q (of the Devil in him) completes the comparative idea started by S and must come last.
Final sentence: Whatever gods there be, there is something godlike in man, as there is also something of the Devil in him.
