    Correct answer
  4. d.

    Neither 1 nor 2

Explanation

Statement 1 is correct. The author indeed argues that social order does not naturally arise but is established through convention. This order serves as the foundation for all other rights. Therefore, social order emerges from conventions, as stated in the passage. Statement 2 is also correct. If we negate this statement, it contradicts the passage's assertion that social order is the basis for all other rights. Therefore, this statement aligns with the passage's argument.
