The middle four sentences in each have been removed and jumbled up. These are labeled P, Q, R and S. You are required to find out the proper sequence of the four sentences and mark your response accordingly on the Answer Sheet.

S1 :There is no doubt that the rules governing imports, manufacture and the use of pesticides need to be further tightened up.
S6:At the same time, better pollution control measures are needed to check the discharge of poisonous gases and chemicals by a host of other industries which are equally responsible for poisoning our world.
P:But a more practical and feasible approach is required to tackle this problem.
Q:No one can deny the importance of pesticides in our agriculture.
R:The proposed amendment is an attempt at doing this, but in the process it seems to have gone overboard in most cases.
S:Even today, nearly a fourth of our crop is lost due to pests and weeds.

The proper sequence should be 

A) R P S Q B) R Q S P
C) Q S P R D) P R S Q
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Q S P R
