The correct answer is ‘SPRQ’.

Key Points

  • While arranging the parts of the passage, we should find some grammatical or contextual connections between them-
    • S follows sentence 1 as it is logically correct and mentions the major force behind the evolution of mankind, i.e. science.
    • Next is P as it mentions how science has been a boon for us.
    • After that is R which further states the importance of science.
    • Next is Q which states that just as a coin has two faces, science too has a negative side and thus is a two-edged sword. Since sentence 6 talks about the advantages and disadvantages of science, Q is the 2nd last sentence. 

Thus, the correct order is SPRQ:

1. Looking at the age when a man led a life like a savage, we notice how far we have come.

S. Similarly, the evolution of mankind is truly commendable—one of the major driving forces behind this is science.

P. It makes you think about the wonder of science and how it has proven to be such a boon in our lives.

R. All the advancements that man has been able to make are with the help of science.

Q. However, it won’t be wrong to say that science is a two-edged sword.

6. It comes with its own set of advantages and disadvantages.
