- ARPQS
- BRSPQ
- CQSRP
- DSQRP
Explanation
R gives the first of Aristotle's limitations from S1: his equipment was only a ruler, compass and crude instruments. P adds a second: physical events were blamed on God's intervention. Q adds a third: little industrial invention, since slave labour was cheap. S sums up - the facts behind modern science were undiscovered - which is why S6 says his was not an age of experiment. Hence RPQS, option A, is correct.
