选项 A、Hence
B、Thereafter
C、Somehow
D、Incidentally
答案A
解析 本题考查语法。空格处填入的副词出现在句首，表示空格所在分句与上文的逻辑关系。Hence表示因果关系，意为"因此，所以"；Thereafter表示时间关系，意为"其后，从那时以后"；Somehow(由于某种未知的原因，不知怎么地)；Incidentally(顺便提一句；偶然地，附带地)。空格上一句提到，神是城市里所有财产的拥有者。空格所在分句的主叶：结构是the priests were favored，the priests后who引导的一个较长的定语从句指出，僧侣诠释神的意志。因此两个分句之间是因果逻辑关系，即：神的权力很大，因此诠释神的意志的人受到青睐。
