The passage seems to center around the theme of recession. The first sentence should be P because it introduces and defines 'recession'. The next sentence would be R which gives the technical definition of 'recession'. The next two sentences are about the effects of a recession. Out of these S would come before Q as Q exemplifies S. Therefore, the correct sequence is PRSQ.
