The correct answer is option 2 i.e. QPSR.
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 gives the introduction of the subject. Next is Q as it starts with 'but' and is in contradiction with sentence 1.
- P follows Q as it describes a situation.
- Next is S as it tells what happens when everything goes well as mentioned in P.
- Last is R as sentence 6 starts with 'this' and logically refers to the statement mentioned in R.
Sentences after rearrangement-
Adversity is a curse. But, it has its uses also. When everything goes on well, we are tempted to take matters easy. We fall into a life of comfort and idleness. But adversity prompts us to exert ourselves. This develops our latent powers, enabling us to prosper in life.
