Answer 1

The correct option is B RQP

Sentence S1 talks about newspapers being an important link between the people and the government. Sentence R keeps up with the same thought as S1 and explains how the newspapers help people learn about the activities of the government. Sentence Q talks about the newspapers being a mouthpiece of public opinion and sentence P explains sentence Q. S5 logically follows sentence P. Therefore, the correct order of sentences is RQP and the correct option is B).
