The first line (SI) of each question is fixed. Arrange the other four lines P, Q, R and S in a logical sequence.
S1: The beginning of the universe had, of course, been discussed for a long time.
P: One argument of such a beginning was the feeling that it was necessary to have a first cause to explain the existence of the universe.
Q: He pointed out that civilization is progressing, and we remember who performed this deed or developed that technique;
R: According to a number of early cosmologies in the Jewish/Christian/Muslim tradition, the universe started at a finite and not very distant time in the past.
S: Another argument was put forward by St. Augustine in his book, The City of God.
The passage starts by saying that the beginning of universe has been discussed for long time. This should be followed by statement R saying that the universe started a finite time ago. This statement is supported by statement P followed by statement S. 'He' in statement Q refers to St.Augustine in statement S. Therefore, statement S is followed by Q. The correct sequence is R-P-S-Q.
The answer is option B.
