Dont you think that this sentence should be broken? i.e The paths of glory lead, ----- to the grave.

To get B as the ans?

Yes even I go with Devyansh, the answer should either be straight or directly.

but from this below poem written by Thomas Gray poem "Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard".

The boast of heraldry, the pomp of pow'r,
And all that beauty, all that wealth e'er gave,
Awaits alike th'inevitable hour.
The paths of glory lead but to the grave.

THE ANSWER IS BUT.
