P: However, paying for these imports with gold and silver strained the economy and led the Tokugawa to put restrictions on the export of precious metals.
Q: Over time, the silk from Nishijin came to be known as the best in the world.
R: They also took steps to develop the silk industry in Nishijin in Kyoto so as to reduce imports.
S: This was because it imported luxury goods like silk from China and textiles from India.

The correct answer is

SQRP 

To determine the correct sequence of the given jumbled sentences, it's important to understand the context and logical flow of the information related to the Japanese empire's economy. Let's analyze each sentence and arrange them in a coherent sequence:

  1. S1: The Japanese empire was considered rich.
  2. S: This was because it imported luxury goods like silk from China and textiles from India.
  3. Q: Over time, the silk from Nishijin came to be known as the best in the world.
  4. P: However, paying for these imports with gold and silver strained the economy and led the Tokugawa to put restrictions on the export of precious metals.
  5. R: They also took steps to develop the silk industry in Nishijin in Kyoto so as to reduce imports.
  6. S6: Soon, other developments such as the increased use of money and the creation of a stock market in rice show that the economy was developing in new ways.

Logical Sequence Explanation:

  • The passage begins with S1, which sets the premise that the Japanese empire was considered rich.
  • Sentence S logically follows S1, explaining the reason for the richness: luxury imports from China and India.
  • After establishing the initial condition, Q follows, illustrating the changing perception of Japanese silk from Nishijin, signaling the improvement in local industries.
  • P logically follows Q because it deals with the consequences of these imports, specifically the economic strain due to trade imbalances and imposed restrictions on exports.
  • R then elaborates on the proactive steps taken by the Japanese to bolster local industry (particularly silk) to mitigate these economic challenges.
  • Finally, S6 concludes with broader developments in the economy, showing progress beyond just the silk industry.

The correct sequence is therefore SQRP, aligning with the given correct answer option C (SQRP).

    P: Sediments and fossil in the poles tell us a great deal about the environment in which they were laid down.
    Q: We must, of course, bear in mind when interpreting this information that, because of the movement of the continents, no one latitude of the Earth has necessarily gone through such marked climatic vicissitudes.
    R: Nevertheless, even allowing for this factor, one of the most remarkable discoveries about the climate change of the past is that the two poles of the Earth have been free of ice for at least 90 per cent of the known history of the planet.
    S: We may find in close proximity to one another, coal deposits indicating the humid conditions of the tropics, red sandstones laid down in deserts and morainic materials reflecting polar conditions.

    S6: The boiling point of water under standard conditions is at 100 degrees Centigrade.
    P: Temperature is an index of sensible heat, not a direct measure of the quantity of energy.
    Q: Zero on this scale is the 'triple point' temperature, at which the gaseous, liquid, and solid states of water are at equilibrium under standard atmospheric pressure.
    R: If heat flows from one body to another, the former has the higher temperature.
