The correct answer is option 2 i.e. QRSP.
The first line of the passage must be the one which introduces the theme of the paragraph. Out of all the sentences, sentence Q is the starting line as it introduces the subject of the passage i.e. ‘Special quality bestowed on human beings’.
R is the perfect continuation of the sentence Q as it further elaborates the fact i.e. ‘all humans are bestowed with a conscience that helps us discriminate between good and bad, eternal and non-eternal’.
Sentence S should be the third sentence because it states what a human can do with the help of this special quality and mentions the two paths a human can take.
Finally, P is the concluding statement which tells about the paths mentioned in the sentence S.
