The given sentences describe how Ross’s experiments and work was appreciated by the British Medical Association and was recognised by the Royal Society who later elected him as a fellow in 1901. We are required to provide a correct sequence for the occurrence of events which led to this.
First sentence: The first in sequence after we know that Ross sent his work and specimens to Manson is that in July of 1898, Manson showed it to the British Medical Association. Hence, sentence Q.
Second sentence: Then we are told about their reaction. Sentence P tells us how Ross’s work created a sensation when it was described by Manson at the association.
Third sentence: Then follows more applause for it which is expressed in sentence S.
Fourth sentence: As we are told in S6 that Ross is elected as a fellow at the Royal Society, we can clearly infer that before that, people from the Royal society must have gone through Ross’s work or visited him. Hence, sentence R.
