First Sentence-Sentence P introduces the topic of superstitions quite clearly to the reader and therefore is the first line in the paragraph. It talks about the fact that despite scientific advances, superstitions still exist in the world.

Second Sentence- From the context of sentence R i.e. because of science and education, people have stopped believing in superstitions, which makes it very clear that it continues to explain the subjects (science and superstitions) of the previous sentence and therefore is second in sequence.

Third Sentence- Sentence S talks about another reason as to why superstitions are becoming less important in today’s world, which was also a point raised in sentence R that is why it is next in the sequence.

Fourth Sentence- Sentence Q gives a small example of how superstition exists in everyday life at the same time explaining that it is irrational and therefore it is the conclusion to the paragraph.
