The correct answer is option 1 i.e. RQPS.
While arranging the parts of the sentence given in options, we have to find some grammatical or contextual connections between them, so let’s find out-
- R follows sentence 1 as it describes what happened on the way when he was riding along the road.
- Q uses 'them' which refers to the soldiers mentioned in R. Hence, Q follows R.
- P is the logical successor of Q as it further gives details of the beam.
- S precedes 6 as S gives the reason why G. Washington dismounted and helped them.
Sentences after rearrangement-
One day G. Washington was riding along a road. On the way, he saw soldiers lifting a heavy beam. The Corporal was giving them orders. The beam was too heavy to lift without help. They needed just one more man. G.Washington dismounted and helped the soldiers to lift the beam.
