Key Points

  • Sentence 1 establishes the subject matter 'soil'.
  • Sentence S will come first because it is talking about raw materials.
  • Sentence Q will come next because it is talking about the interdependence of the soil and living organism.
  • Sentence R will come next because it is talking about how soil is affected by the flora and fauna.
  • Sentence P will come next because it is talking about how flora and fauna determine the type of soil.
  • The use of 'on one hand' in sentence R and 'On the other hand' in sentence P also indicates that sentence P will come after sentence R.
  • Hence, option 3 is the correct answer.
     

The correct arrangement is: It provides raw materials for the plants on which we depend for food. The soil and the living organisms of a region are inter-dependent. On the one hand, the soil is affected by the flora and fauna of the region. On the other hand, the type of soil determines the flora and fauna of the region.
