First sentence- Since all the sentences explain the importance and facts about courtesy and politeness and good manners, it is the subject of the paragraph. The only line introducing these concepts is line Q and therefore it is the first line.
Second Sentence- Sentence P is second in the sequence. The first line states courtesy and politeness as reflectors of good manners and therefore the second line should be a continuation of a similar point. Line P explains that biographies can also serve as sources of learning good manners.
Third Sentence-Sentence S explains how words like “Sorry”, “Please”, “Thank you” etc are considered polite and create an impact on individuals. It further explains how politeness can be a key to good manners and therefore is third in sequence.
Fourth sentence-the use of the phrase 'these words' in sentence R clearly states that this a continuation of sentence S and also the sentence serves as the right conclusion to the paragraph.
