Key Points
- While arranging the parts of the passage given in the options, we have to find some grammatical or contextual connections between them, so let’s find out.
- The first statement in the sequence should be the one that best connects with S1.
- It should be a continuation or extension of S1.
- From S1 and S6, it is clear that the passage is about overcoming fears.
- R follows S1 because it is adding information to the context by talking about the need for fear.
- S follows R because it is adding more information to R by talking about being afraid of an automobile.
- P is directly connected to S6 as P is talking about sensibility.
