Concept:We find the logical order by linking pronouns and connectives between the sentences.
Explanation:S1 states that all governments claim consistency and success.
Sentence S uses “Some” to refer back to these governments, so S must follow S1.
Thus, the sequence starts with S.
Next, Q begins with “And yet”, which contrasts the claims of governments with the reality that governance is about choice.
So Q follows S.
Sentence P then describes the nature of those choices — uncertainty, risk, immediacy.
Finally, R introduces foreign policy decision-making by saying “Nowhere is this more true”, which directly leads to S6 about diplomacy.
Hence the correct order is S, Q, P, R.
Answer:The correct sequence is SQPR, which corresponds to option A.
