Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Correct sequence: S1, S, Q, R, P, S6.
Explanation of the logical flow:
S1 introduces that the judiciary has several important roles and sets up a list of roles.
S states the first role: to act as guardian and interpreter of the Constitution.
Q explains that duty by saying the judiciary must ensure measures by legislature or executive conform to the Constitution.
R follows Q and gives the consequence: if measures conflict with the Constitution, the judiciary can strike them down.
P states the second role: to protect fundamental and other rights of citizens.
S6 elaborates on P by noting that if measures violate rights, the judiciary can stall or end them.
Putting these together yields a coherent progression: introduce the topic, state the first role and explain it, then state the second role and give its explanation.
