The correct answer is option 4 i.e. SPRQ.

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-

  • Sentence 1 describes the subject being talked about i.e time. S follows sentence 1 as it gives the consequence of sentence 1.
  • P follows S as it describes what 'change' is.
  • Next is R as it starts with 'this' and refers to the fact mentioned in P.
  • Last is Q as it further gives examples of change and is logically followed by sentence 6.


Sentences after rearrangement-

Time flows on without any stop. That is why, things are always changing. In fact change is the law of nature. This is true not only of physical life. The condition in which a man lives; his ideas and thoughts are changing from age to age. Thus, our mode of living and ideas are different from those of our grandfathers.
