Para-jumble (what true religion means): Reorder the sentences to contrast ritualism with inner transformation and conclude with the hallmark of authenticity. S1 = "Religion is not a matter of mere dogmatic conformity." S6 = "A man of that character is free from fear, free from hatred." Between S1 and S6, arrange the fragments logically: P = "It is not merely going through the ritual prescribed to us." Q = "It is not a question of ceremonial piety." R = "Unless that kind of transformation occurs, you are not an authentically religious man." S = "It is the remaking of your own self, the transformation of your nature." Choose the correct sequence of P–Q–R–S that completes the paragraph.

Answer
Correct Answer: QPSR
Explanation
Given data
- S1 negates dogmatic conformity.
- Q and P supply twin negations (ceremonial piety; ritual motions).
- S states the positive essence: inner transformation.
- R adds the test of authenticity.
Concept / ApproachUse 'negation → definition → consequence'. Pair Q and P to complete what religion is not, then pivot to S (what it is), then R sets the criterion that must be met, before S6 names the resulting character traits.
Step-by-stepS1 + Q → reject ceremonialism.… + P → reject mere ritualism.… + S → assert transformation as essence.… + R → state the authenticity condition.
Rejecting distractorsSPRQ / SPQR invert the natural 'negations first' flow; PSRQ lacks the clear pivot to essence before the test.
