The opening or the first sentence of the correct arrangement must introduce the subject of the passage. Out of all the given sentences, the sentence that introduces the subjects of the passage, i.e. soil pollution, is R. The sentence that logically follows R is S as it further introduces us with the concept of 'contaminants'. P further talks more about 'contaminants' thus following S. Leaving Q as the last sentence. Therefore, the correct order would be RSPQ.
