S1: Land is a very important resource.
S6: India has a vast landmass but it is important to ensure careful planning in the utilization of its land resources.
P: It is therefore an important asset that needs to be used with care and concern because it is finite in nature.
Q: All over the world, land supports natural vegetation, wildlife, human life, economic activities, and communication and transport systems.
R: Hence, land is of great significance for all nations.
S: In consequence to all of these, careful planning of land use assumes the utmost significance.

The correct answer is 'Option 1'.

Key Points

• S1: Land is a very important resource.
  • This sentence introduces the central topic: the importance of land.
• Q: All over the world, land supports natural vegetation, wildlife, human life, economic activities, and communication and transport systems.
  • This sentence logically expands on S1 by detailing the various reasons why land is important, listing its diverse supportive roles across the globe.
• R: Hence, land is of great significance for all nations.
  • The word "Hence" indicates a conclusion drawn from the preceding list of functions in Q, reiterating land's "great significance" for all nations, thereby reinforcing S1's assertion.
• P: It is therefore an important asset that needs to be used with care and concern because it is finite in nature.
  • The phrase "It is therefore" connects back to the significance established in R. It then introduces the consequence of its importance and finite nature: the need for "care and concern" in its use.
• S: In consequence to all of these, careful planning of land use assumes the utmost significance.
  • "In consequence to all of these" refers to the cumulative points made in Q, R, and P (land's support functions, its significance, and its finite nature requiring careful use). This leads to the logical conclusion that "careful planning of land use" is of utmost importance.
• S6: India has a vast landmass but it is important to ensure careful planning in the utilization of its land resources.
  • This concluding sentence connects the general principle of the "utmost significance" of "careful planning of land use" from S to the specific context of "India," reiterating the necessity for planning in its land resource utilization.
• The sequence Q-R-P-S creates a coherent flow: establishing importance (S1), elaborating on functions (Q), concluding significance (R), deriving the need for careful use due to finitude (P), and finally emphasizing the utmost significance of planning (S), leading to the specific application in S6.
