Right Answer is: A
SOLUTION
The correct solution is option 1 i.e. PRSQ.
Explanation
- Sentence S1 is the first sentence after the arrangement.
- 'This' in sentence P refers to the line mentioned in S1. So, P follows S1.
- Sentence R explains why it is sensible. So, R follows P.
- Sentence S further explains 'fears' and why we are afraid. So, S follows R.
- Due to these fears, we wait until it's gone which is mentioned in sentence Q. So, Q follows S.
- In the end, S6 is the last sentence in the arrangement.
Thus, the correct arrangement would be PRSQ.
