Answer 1

The correct answer is Option 4.

Key Points

The passage describes the South African Constitution, focusing on its context, Bill of Rights, and enforcement. We need to establish a logical flow for the jumbled sentences (P, Q, R, S) between the fixed S1 and S6.
S1: Introduces the inauguration of the South African Constitution in December 1996.
Sentence P logically follows S1 by providing the historical context of the Constitution's creation: "Its creation and promulgation took place at a time when South Africa was after the brutal era of the Warfield Government." This sets the background for the constitution's significance.
Sentence Q then introduces a key component of the Constitution, the Bill of Rights: "The South African Constitution says that its 'Bill of Rights is the cornerstone of democracy in South Africa.'" This naturally progresses from the constitution's origin to its core principles.
Sentence S elaborates on the Bill of Rights, describing its comprehensive nature: "The Bill of Rights grants perhaps the most extensive range of rights to its citizens." This statement expands on Q's introduction of the Bill of Rights.
Sentence R provides specific examples of the extensive rights mentioned in S, detailing the grounds on which discrimination is forbidden: "Apropos, it forbids discrimination on the grounds of 'race, gender, sexual orientation, status, ethnic or social origin, colour, age, disability, religion, conscience, belief, culture, language and birth.'" "Apropos" indicates that this detail is relevant to or concerning the broad range of rights.
S6: Finally, S6 concludes the passage by explaining how these rights, discussed in Q, S, and R, are enforced: "special constitutional court enforces the rights enshrined in the Constitution."
The most logical sequence is PQSR.

Coherent paragraph after rearrangement:

"The South African Constitution was inaugurated in December 1996. Its creation and promulgation took place at a time when South Africa was after the brutal era of the Warfield Government. The South African Constitution says that its 'Bill of Rights is the cornerstone of democracy in South Africa.' The Bill of Rights grants perhaps the most extensive range of rights to its citizens. Apropos, it forbids discrimination on the grounds of 'race, gender, sexual orientation, status, ethnic or social origin, colour, age, disability, religion, conscience, belief, culture, language and birth. special constitutional court enforces the rights enshrined in the Constitution."
