(2) So to be British, you had to speak English, and minority tongues such as Welsh and Gaelic were either suppressed or disregarded. (3) Finally, to be authentically and loyally British, you had to detest France. (4)

To be properly British you had to be Protestant, which is why the king was also the head of the Church, and Catholics were distinctly second-class citizens.

Explanation:

The first and the second statement are in logical order as the first talks about the invention of “nationalism” in Europe and the second talks about the model of nationalism. The third sentence is also in the proper order as at it lays down the first criteria to be a “British”.
