Answer 1

Answer: (B)

S Q R P

The first sentence in the sequence should be the one that introduces a new topic. It cannot be a phrase that is an extension or continuation of a topic.

S is the first in sequence: S is the only phrase that starts a new topic, all others are continuations. It starts a discussion on the revival of the religion of middle ages due to rise of theocratic states.

S is followed by Q: Q further elaborates on this revival. It tells us that the revival is supported by politicians as they can drag people into submission because of it.

Q is followed by R: R explains how the politicians mentioned in Q drag people into submission. Thus, it must come directly after Q.

R is followed by P: P provides a conclusion to the point discussed in R. It says that the actions of the politicians mentioned in R will only divide the people.

Thus, the correct sequence is S Q R P. Hence, B is the correct option.
