Sentence 1- The first sentence should always introduce the subject matter of the paragraph to the reader. Sentence P introduces the subject of the increasing world population. Other sentences talk about the same subject but not introduce it, as clearly as Sentence P.

Sentence 2- Sentence R is next in sequence as it is a continuation and elaboration of sentence P. The words ‘this phenomenon’ indicate that the previous subject is being discussed here.

Sentence 3-Sentence S talks about the impacts of overpopulation (the subject from the previous sentence) and therefore a continuation of sentence R.

Sentence 4- Sentence Q is a continuation of sentence S as it talks about the other effects of overpopulation.
