In the question below, each passage consists of six sentences. The first (S1) and sixth (S6) sentences are fixed. The middle four sentences P, Q, R, S are jumbled. Find the proper order of the four sentences.
S1: The library is a place where knowledge is preserved and shared with all.
P: Students and researchers often visit to find useful information for their studies.
Q: It houses thousands of books, journals, and digital resources on various subjects.
R: The peaceful environment helps visitors focus and absorb knowledge effectively.
S: Librarians play a crucial role in organizing and maintaining these resources.
S6: Thus, the library serves as a treasure trove of wisdom for generations.

Question

Read the following paragraph and answer the question that follows. A. The treaty tests of a budget deficit no bigger than 3% of the GDP and a public debt converging towards a ceiling of 60% of a GDP seemed impossible for Italy to pass by 1999.
B. That Belgium also had a public debt above 100 percent of GDP helped, as did a special euro tax Mr. Prodi introduced.
C. Into the uncompromising environment came the first of a series of external shocks. One of the earliest was entry into the European single currency, the euro, in 1999.
D. But when it became clear in 1997 that Spain was determined to join from the start, Romano Prodi, then Italian prime minister, decided that Italy, as a founder member of the bloc, must be there too.
E. Germany had more or less designed the 1992 Maastricht treaty’s convergence criteria to keep out a profligate, chronically indebted Italy.
Which of the following sequences is the MOST logically ordered?

Answer 1

Step 1: Define the Library's Contents.
S1 provides a general library overview. The next logical step is to detail its contents. Sentence Q fulfills this by listing "books, journals, and digital resources."
\( \Rightarrow \) \(\underline{Q}\) follows S1.

Step 2: Identify "these resources."
Sentence S uses "these resources," referencing a previous introduction. Q explicitly introduces resources, therefore S must follow Q.
\( \Rightarrow \) partial order: S1 \(\to\) Q \(\to\) \(\underline{S}.\)

Step 3: Introduce users and their experience.
Following resources and their management (Q, S), the next logical element is the users. Sentence P introduces "Students and researchers … visit to find useful information," naturally linking to the resources.
Sentence R discusses "visitors" and the peaceful environment, referencing the visitors in P, so R follows P.
\( \Rightarrow \) order of the middle four becomes: Q \(\to\) S \(\to\) P \(\to\) R.

Step 4: Conclude with S6.
Having established contents (Q), management (S), users (P), and environment (R), S6's "Thus" offers a coherent summary.

\(\boxed{\text{Proper sequence of the four sentences: QSPR}}\)
