Correct Answer: perhaps


Solution : The third option is the correct answer.

In this context, the sentence structure suggests a sense of uncertainty or possibility, making "perhaps", the most suitable word. It conveys the idea that the gods may see more than we do, but it leaves room for doubt or speculation.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Unlikely means not probable or expected.
  • Odds are the probability or chances of something happening.
  • However means nevertheless, or on the other hand.

Therefore, the complete sentence is: The humour of the gods is cruel; or perhaps they see more than we do.
