The paths of glory lead ...... to the grave.

  • A.Straight
  • B.But
  • C.In
  • D.Directly

Answer: B

Correct answer: But

The line is from Gray's Elegy: the paths of glory lead but to the grave, where but means only.

Straight, directly and in all give a plain sense but lose the restriction - the point is that glory leads nowhere else.
