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.

Straight As may be the wrong goal, suggests a new study that has determined learning is optimized when we fail 15% of the time. P. This is a concept that society has intuited for a long time, across a variety of domains — for instance, this just-outside-one’s-grasp learning is observable in video games, in which the player is encouraged or forced to a higher level of difficulty once a performance criterion has been achieved.  Q. In both cases, machines and animals learned the fastest when difficulty was such that the subject would be right 85% of the time and be wrong 15%. But researchers say their finding is likely applicable to humans.  R. Interestingly, it’s not a new concept — the “zone of proximal development,” a theory developed in the 1930s by psychologist Lev Vygotsky described the sweet spot of learning: when a student is faced with a challenge just beyond their ability to solve it alone. It’s a ‘Goldilock’s zone'. S. A ratio, developed by researchers at various universities was tested on computers via machine learning and applied to previous research looking into how animals learn.  6. If one is taking classes that are too easy and acing them all the time, then one probably isn’t getting as much out of a class as someone who’s struggling but managing to keep up.
