Answer 1

Answer: (E)

To solve the given sentence jumble problem effectively, we need to determine the logical and meaningful sequence of the parts provided. The sentences parts are:

• Q: We have to get over the transitional period and become a modern, industrial state
• R: We must spread scientific thinking on a massive scale
• P: This is only possible by means of a complete revolution in our thinking
• S: Encourage people to give up superstitions and backward feudal ideas

Let's analyze each part:

1. Q: This sets the stage by stating a need to transition and modernize.
2. R: This specifies a method to achieve modernization by promoting scientific thinking.
3. P: This supports the previous statements (Q and R), by emphasizing that these actions require a revolution in thinking.
4. S: This further explains the actions needed to implement the revolutionary change mentioned in P. Giving up superstitions and feudal ideas complements the transition to modern thinking.

Based on the analysis, the coherent sequence that connects these ideas in a logical manner is QRPS:

1. Q (Initiates the transformation goal)
2. R (Describes an approach—scientific thinking—towards modernization)
3. P (Supports the need for a revolutionary change in thinking)
4. S (Elaborates on necessary actions)

Therefore, the correct sequence is QRPS. The order of the sections logically describes the transition from a traditional to a modern state through scientific thinking and the abandonment of outdated ideas, supporting the need for revolutionary change.
