Correct Answer: RPSQ
Explanation:
Given data
Concept / Approach
Attach the grammatical linker immediately after the subject in S1. The fragment R ('Would mean that') must come right after S1 to complete the predicate. Then enumerate consequences as full clauses (P and S), and finally append Q, a coordinated tail beginning with 'And', before closing with S6 as the causal reason.
Step-by-step ordering
S1 + R → 'A ceiling on urban property would mean that …'… + P → '… no mill-owner could own factories or mills or plants.'… + S → '… No press magnate could own printing presses …'… + Q → '… and mass circulation papers …'… + S6 → '… since their value would exceed the ceiling fixed by the government.'
Rejecting distractors
QSRP / QPSR start with Q (a coordination fragment) and misplace R, breaking grammar.SRPQ places R late; S1 is left without a proper predicate until too late.
Verification
S1 + R + P + S + Q + S6 reads smoothly and semantically fits the policy logic.
