The first sentence in a paragraph always introduces a new topic and must be a sentence with independent meaning.

So, determining the first sentence and eliminating options becomes the quickest way to find the answer.

Here, only sentence R introduces 'The Reagan Doctrine' while the others give more information about it; so, R must be the first$ sentence.$

Out of the given options, both 1 and 2 begin with R.

So, we look at the next sentence in the order.

Only sentence S can be the second sentence, as it uses the pronoun 'it', referring to 'The Reagan Doctrine' mentioned in the first sentence.

So, S must be the second sentence.

The order RS is only given by option 2.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 2.
