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.

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.
