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 the Indus Valley.

  • Q follows S because it is adding more information to S by talking about the access to the upstairs rooms.
  • R is directly connected to S6 as R is talking about the drains in the walls.
• Therefore, the sequence is 'S1SQPRS6.'
