The correct answer is option 4. 

The para begins with the introduction of the topic at hand - loneliness and its meaning.

it then proceeds to the sentence P which refers to the lexical meaning of the term loneliness,

this is followed by the sentence Q about how the original term for loneliness ' oneliness' was not actually a negative term and also  that it provided the sharing of thoughts with God,

then the next sentence is S which talks about how nature and God are related and how nature was there to provide health and inspiration.

The next sentence  R refers to the other areas where nature - God relation exists.

Thus, the correct answer is option 4 - PQSR.

Before 1800, the word loneliness was not particularly emotional: it simply connoted the state of being alone. The lexicographer Thomas Blount’s Glossographia (1656) defined loneliness as “one; an oneliness, or loneliness, a single or singleness.” In this period, “oneliness” was seldom negative. It allowed communion with God, as when Jesus “withdrew to lonely places and prayed”. For many of the Romantics, nature served the same, quasi-religious or deistic function. Even without the presence of God, nature provided inspiration and health, themes that continue in some 21st-century environmentalism. Critically, this interconnectedness between self and world (or God-in-world) was also found in medicine. There was no division of the mind and the body, as exists today.
