The proper sequence should be Correct Answer Q P R S

The correct sequence is QPRS.

The second sentence after S6 should be Q since it is the only one among the other options that starts a narrative and does not sound like the continuation of any other sentence.

The third sentence should be P since it begins with the clause ‘besides’ and is, therefore, a continuation of sentence P.

The fourth sentence should be R since among R and S, the former should be used since the latter begins with a conditional ‘but’.

The fifth sentence should, therefore, be S.
