Question:

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

Explanation:

The passage starts off by saying that the beginning of the universe has long been a topic of discussion. This will ideally be followed by statement R, which mentions one theory: that the start of the universe was at a definite point in time. This is supported by the reasoning in statement P where it is said that a ‘first cause’ explains the universe’s existence. Then statements S and Q put forth another theory by St. Augustine and elaborate upon it.
The correct sequence is RPSQ.
Hence, the correct answer is option 2.
