    PQR
  3. C

  4. D

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

To find the correct sequence, let's analyze the connections between the fragments:
The opening phrase "They have now" requires a main verb in the past participle form to complete the present perfect tense structure. Segment R ("been turned into consumers") perfectly continues this.

The phrase "consumers... of goods" makes logical sense, so Q ("of goods mandated") should follow R.

The passive construction "mandated" links with the agent introduced by "by", which is found in segment P ("by a paternalistic state").

Combining these gives the logical order: R-Q-P.
