The correct answer is 'QPRS'.

Key Points

 While arranging the parts of the passage, we should find some grammatical or contextual connections between them-

  • Q follows sentence 1 as it starts with 'therefore' which means that since the wealth is limited, it is certain to be exhausted.
  • Next is P as 'it' refers to the mineral wealth and refers to the wasting of the mineral wealth.
  • After that is R as it tells how some wastage could be stopped.
  • Last is S as it gives an example of a kind of wastage that could be prevented.

Thus, the correct order is QPRS:

1. The mineral wealth of the country, the coal, iron, oil, gas, and the like, does not reproduce itself.
Q. Therefore it is certain to be exhausted ultimately.
P.  Wastefulness in dealing with it today means that our descendants will feel the exhaustion a generation or two before they otherwise would.
R. But there are certain other forms of waste which could be entirely stopped.
S. The waste of soil by washing, for instance, which is among the most dangerous of all wastes now in progress in the United States, is easily preventable.
6. The preservation or replacement of the forests is one of the most important means of preventing this loss.

Modern civilization is completely dependent on energy, which has therefore to be abundant and also economical. About 85% of the world's energy is supplied by oil, coal and natural gas while nuclear, hydro, wind and solar power and biomass supply the rest. Coal, nuclear and hydro are used primarily to generate electricity while natural gas is widely used for heating. Biomass is used both for heating and cooking. The wind and solar power is the future's hope as they are sustainable energy sources. Oil powers almost all machines that move and that makes oil uniquely versatile. Oil powered airplanes carry 500 people across the widest oceans at nearly the speed of sound. Oil powered machines produce and transport food. Oil powered machines are ubiquitous. Clearly, we live in the age of oil but it is drawing to a close. According to data available if oil production remains constant until it's gone, there is enough to last 42 years. Oil wells will produce less as they become depleted, which will make it impossible to keep production constant. Similarly natural gas and coal will last another 61 years and 133 years respectively. Naturally, as they become scarce, they become expensive, leading to a worldwide energy crisis. If we are to survive on this planet, we have to make a transition to sustainable energy sources. The transition may be willy-nilly or planned - the choice is ours. The dawning era of limited and expensive energy will be very difficult for everyone on earth but will be even more difficult if it is not anticipated. It is of utmost importance that the public and policymakers understand the global energy crisis and act in tandem to ensure that the species 'homo sapiens' does not become extinct.
