[amp_mcq option1=”PSQR” option2=”QSPR” option3=”RPQS” option4=”SQRP” correct=”option1″]

The correct answer is A. PSQR.

The first sentence (S1) introduces the topic of the passage, which is the distinction between state or sovereign and government as developed by Rousseau. The second sentence (P) provides a definition of state, while the third sentence (Q) provides a definition of government. The fourth sentence (R) explains how the individuals who are assigned to government power are the officers or agents of the sovereign. The fifth sentence (S) explains that government is created not by any contract but by a decree of the sovereign, and its function is in no sense to make but only to administer law. The sixth sentence (S6) provides a collective term for the individuals who are assigned to government power.

The correct sequence of sentences is PSQR. This is because the first sentence (S1) introduces the topic of the passage, which is the distinction between state or sovereign and government as developed by Rousseau. The second sentence (P) provides a definition of state, while the third sentence (Q) provides a definition of government. The fourth sentence (R) explains how the individuals who are assigned to government power are the officers or agents of the sovereign. The fifth sentence (S) explains that government is created not by any contract but by a decree of the sovereign, and its function is in no sense to make but only to administer law. The sixth sentence (S6) provides a collective term for the individuals who are assigned to government power.

The other options are incorrect because they do not follow the logical order of the sentences. For example, option B (QSPR) starts with a definition of government, which is not the topic of the first sentence (S1). Option C (RPQS) starts with an explanation of how the individuals who are assigned to government power are the officers or agents of the sovereign, which is not the topic of the first sentence (S1). Option D (SQRP) starts with a definition of state, which is not the topic of the first sentence (S1).
