Sentence 1. Emilia and her family lived on the island of Sebesi—one of the largest islands in the Sunda Strait— located near the Anak Krakatau volcano.

Right Answer is: B
SOLUTION
P should be the first sentence as it gives the introduction about the tsunami. Q, R and S describe the effects of the tsunami.
The sixth sentence states about people being hospitalized. So, the fourth and fifth sentences must be about the people (Q and S).
The word ‘still’ in sentence S hints that S comes after Q. R is therefore, the third sentence.
The correct order should be PRQS.
Hence, option 2 is correct.
