The correct answer is: D. RPSQ
The correct sequence of the sentences is:
- R: With the mechanisation of these operations, complicated apparatus became necessary for economic production.
- P: But the association of skilled workers lacked capital to buy it.
- S: The banker, therefore, stepped in to finance the industrialisation of these operations.
- Q: Consequently, he began to assume the role of the employer.
- S6: This was one of the reasons why the industry flourished in such rich countries as Flanders, Italy and Britain.
The first sentence (R) states that with the mechanization of cloth production, complicated apparatus became necessary for economic production. The second sentence (P) states that the association of skilled workers lacked the capital to buy this apparatus. The third sentence (S) states that the banker, therefore, stepped in to finance the industrialization of these operations. The fourth sentence (Q) states that consequently, the banker began to assume the role of the employer. The sixth sentence (S6) states that this was one of the reasons why the cloth industry flourished in such rich countries as Flanders, Italy and Britain.
The other options are incorrect because they do not follow the logical order of events. For example, option A (PRQS) would have the banker financing the industrialization of cloth production before the association of skilled workers lacked the capital to buy the necessary apparatus. This is not a logical sequence of events, as the banker would not be able to finance the industrialization if the workers did not have the capital to buy the necessary equipment.
Option B (PRSQ) would have the banker assuming the role of the employer before the association of skilled workers lacked the capital to buy the necessary apparatus. This is also not a logical sequence of events, as the banker would not be able to assume the role of the employer if the workers did not have the capital to buy the necessary equipment.
Option C (RQPS) would have the banker financing the industrialization of cloth production before the mechanization of these operations. This is also not a logical sequence of events, as the banker would not be able to finance the industrialization if the operations had not been mechanized.
