Right Answer is: A
SOLUTION
The correct solution is option 1 i.e. PRSQ
Explanation
- Sentence S1 is the first sentence in the arrangement. S1 introduces 'my friend'.
- P is a continuation of S1 because it explains that despite he was tired, he did not stop searching. So, P follows S1.
- After searching all day finally midnight came that's in sentence R. So, R follows P.
- After walking for a long time, the author has reached a place which had a hollow underneath. So, S follows R.
- In that underneath, he laid down which is mentioned in sentence Q. So, Q follows S.
- In the end, S6 is the last sentence in the arrangement which talks about the next day.
Thus, the correct arrangement would be PRSQ.
