Reasons people get served papers?
Service of "papers" probably refers to legal documents advising a person of some court date or court action. Not all things you can get served with involve a response from you, but may simply be the advisement of the action and your options under the law. The "service" itself is a specific legal step and under some circumstances the person who performed the service may have to testify that it was done, for instance, in a divorce wherein you decided to stay home and not appear, the other party can move that the court proceed without you being present, since you were served with the papers and chose not to appear. The server may be calld upon to make a statement under oath that the papers were served.

What rights do you have after being served an eviction notice by the sheriff?
This does not invoke special rights to the tenant. The only basic right is that the landlord cannot harass you during this eviction process, and that the landlord cannot change the locks on your door until a judge signed an order stating that you must move. However, you must follow the instructions that are attached to the eviction notice. For example, in many states you must pay to the clerk's office the amount of rent you owe to the landlord in order to get a hearing date, or the judge may sign a default judgment for eviction. Also note that in most states the landlord has to take every step to complete the eviction process. For example, in order for a judgment to be issued against the tenant for eviction, the landlord must file a motion for this to happen.
Do you have to file a paper in court after being served a pay rent or quit?
Generally, when given such a notice, you either pay your rent or you leave the property. At this point no eviction proceedings have yet been filed. If you disregard the notice - that is, failed to pay the rent or to leave the property, then the landlord goes to the next step: filing eviction proceedings.
