    Solution

    Statement A mentions the fact that some American schools have uniforms. Statement Q mentions that 'they' (uniforms) are not common in other parts of world. It can be viewed that the two statements are of contrasting nature, hence, the connector 'however' (used to show contrast) can be used to connect the two sentences. Thus, A4Q makes a combination - "Some private and church schools in America have uniforms; however, they are not common in other parts of the world." Statement B mentions the rights of national and state governments to impose taxes. Statement S is similar to statement B and mentions the rights of municipalities to impose taxes of other kind. The connector 'likewise', which is used to show similarity between two things, can be used to connect the two sentences. Thus, B5S makes a combination - "Both the national and state governments exercise the right to impose stamp and consumption taxes, and likewise the municipalities are permitted to impose licence and consumption taxes." Statement C mentions that the reinvention of language will not modernize healthcare. Statement P mentions the fact that healthcare can learn from service industries (to modernize healthcare). The connector 'unless' (except if), which is used when the condition is set, can be used to connect the two sentences. Thus, C3P makes a combination - "The reinvention of language will not modernize the delivery of healthcare unless healthcare learn from customer service industries."
