The proper sequence should be:

• B. RQSP
• C. SRPQ
• D. RPQS

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

RQSP

The first statement in the sequence should be the one that best connects with S1. It must be a continuation or extension of S1.

R is first in the sequence: S1 starts by saying that even in his earliest days the man had a government. R explains S1's point. It says that the government was in the form of the family, where the man had authority over his wife and children.

R is followed by Q: Q adds to R's point. It says that in the house it was family, but as he stepped outside, he joined with other men to form hunting tribes that learned to work together.

Q is followed by S: S further adds to Q's point. It says that probably the hunter with the correct combination of strength and cleverness became the leader.

S is followed by P: P adds a point after S. It says that when the man grew old and dull, another leader took his place. S6 goes on to say that as the number of men grew, the hunting bands grew and they divided and formed independent groups.

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