Rearrange the parts of the sentence in the correct order.
Ancient mythologies
P. while adapting to contemporary interpretations and themes
Q. influencing modern literature, cinema, and philosophy
R. preserving cultural traditions through oral storytelling
S. have transcended time and geographical boundaries,

Correct option is C

Option (c) is the correct order of the given sentences.
· Start with S to complete the subject–verb unit: “ Ancient mythologies have transcended time and geographical boundaries,” — grammatically complete and thematically opening the idea.
· Follow with non-finite, parallel -ing phrases that show ongoing effects: Q “ influencing modern literature, cinema, and philosophy,” and then R “ preserving cultural traditions through oral storytelling,” — both logically list consequences of that transcendence.
· Conclude with the concessive/contrastive subordinate clause P: “ while adapting to contemporary interpretations and themes,” which naturally sits at the end to express simultaneous adaptation.
· This yields: S–Q–R–P.
· Thus, (c) = S–Q–R–P, the only sequence that is grammatically smooth and semantically progressive.
