Detailed Solution

●        The first statement in the sequence should be the one most appropriate for the first line. It should be an extension of that first line.
●        R relates better to the first line. In this way, the line becomes 'women who are poorly nourished or sick'.
●        P is telling us what's going on. It suggests that these women are more likely to give birth prematurely if they are malnourished or ill.
●        Q added that their babies are at increased risk.
●        S carries on directly to the point of Q. They say babies are at greater risk of dying and being disabled.
●        Finally, the correct phrase is 'Women who are poorly nourished or sick are more likely to give birth prematurely and their babies are at increased risk of death and disability'.
●        So the proper sequence is R P Q S.
