S1 states that men are equal before the law in democracies. R contrasts this with the unfair sharing of money, food, clothing, and houses. P illustrates the contrast: luxury for a few, hunger for many. Q gives the single-room families, and S describes their whole life in that room, leading into S6, where they die in the same room. Hence (a) RPQS is correct.
