Correct answer
C. RPSQ
Step-by-step solution
The sentence begins with the conditional phrase "for every stride of progress any nation" (R).
This is followed by the verb phrase "takes on account of its economic successes" (P), which completes the first clause.
The main clause then begins with "it takes two back if it is unable" (S).
The sentence concludes with the infinitive phrase "to address continuing social inequality" (Q), which completes the meaning of "unable".
The complete meaningful sentence is: "For every stride of progress any nation takes on account of its economic successes, it takes two back if it is unable to address continuing social inequality."
The correct sequence is RPSQ.
