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 library of a famous divine and literary critic.
  • Q follows S1 because it is adding information to the context by talking about the splendid library of rare books.
  • P follows Q because it is adding more information to Q by saying that multitudes of the books had the marks of libraries.
  • R is directly connected to S6 as R is talking about his possessiveness for books.
• Therefore, the sequence is 'S1QPSRS6.'
• ​​Correct sequence:
