Let's first eliminate the options and then mark the correct answer.
The first and last options get eliminated because Q cannot introduce the paragraph as Q mentions that foreign trade depends on cultivation of cotton in large scale, but that is only true for Egypt, so unless some sentence brings Egypt in the passage, Q cannot stand as the first sentence
The second option gets eliminated because R-S does not make a meaningful pair. Instead, R should be after S.
The first sentence is the one that introduces the paragraph is Sentence S, which tells about the economic crisis that prevailed in Egypt and finally it survived the crisis.
The second sentence follows the first one by adding information to it, and the second sentence is Sentence Q, which says about foreign trade and the relation with cotton.
In the third and the fourth sentence, it is said why Egypt had to boost cotton production and how it helped the country to escape the crisis.
Hence, option 3 is the correct answer.
