S1: Britain was the first country to experience modern industrialisation. S6: This gave people a wider choice of ways to spend their earnings and expanded the market for the sale of goods. P: Stability meant that the Kingdom had common laws, a single currency and a market that was not fragmented by local authorities levying taxes on goods that passed through their area, thus increasing their price. Q: It had been politically stable since the seventeenth century, with England, Wales and Scotland unified under a monarchy. R: By the end of the seventeenth century, money was widely used as the medium of exchange. S: As a consequence, a large section of the people received their income in the form of wages and salaries, rather than in goods.
A.QPRS✓ Correct
B.QPSR
C.SQRP
D.SQPR
Explanation
The logical flow is: S1 states Britain industrialised first. Q explains it had been politically stable since the 17th century (introducing the cause of stability). P elaborates on what this stability meant (common laws, currency, unfragmented market). R then introduces the role of money as the medium of exchange by the end of the 17th century. S follows as a consequence — people earning wages and salaries. This leads to S6 about wider choices in spending. Hence QPRS is correct.
