In the following question, the 1st and the last part of the sentence/passage are numbered 1 and 6. The rest of the sentence/ the passage is split into four parts and named P, Q, R and S. These four parts are not given in their proper order. Read the sentence/ passage and find out which of the four combinations is correct. 1. Why do some people choke under pressure, while others thrive? P. Take golfers, for instance, with an audience and a monetary prize, highly skilled golfers were 20% less accurate on close-range putts than they were without the stress of an audience or the promise of reward. Q. This allows all sorts of worries and details to crowd in, some of which wouldn’t normally be on our radar. R. When stressed, our brains function differently. Our prefrontal cortex, the seat of our working memory and ability to prioritize what’s relevant in order for us to focus, becomes overloaded and faulty. S. It boils down to overthinking to the point we’re so self-conscious we don’t just perform poorly, we perform worse than we should — worse than our skill level dictates 6. The solution – think about the journey, not the outcome. One should remind oneself that one has the background to succeed and is in control of the situation.

The correct answer is option 1.
The para starts with an introduction to the topic - how pressure affects different people differently.
This is followed by sentence S which talks about what is the base of such consequences of pressure.
This is followed by sentence R which explains the brain areas that are affected by pressure.
Then comes sentence Q which talk about how the brain areas affected by pressure allow us to lose focus.
Then comes sentence P which gives an instance of how statistically golfers perform worse under pressure.
This is followed by the conclusive sentence - containing the solution.
Thus, the correct answer is option 1 - SRQP.
