The correct sequence is 'QPRS'.

The first sentence of the correct arrangement must provide information about the subject of the passage. Sentence 1 provided to us ends with the mention of a certain 'Catskill Mountains'.

Out of all the given sentences, the sentence that further pushes the story is 'Sentence Q'. It further tells us about a man named Rip Van Winkle that lived 'in a certain village at the foot of these mountains'. Therefore, Q forms the first sentence of our correct arrangement.

'Sentence P' is the only sentence that talks about Rip Van Winkle and thus it logically follows Q, forming the second sentence of our correct arrangement.

If we look at the last sentence of the arrangement i.e. 6, it talks about how Rip Van Winkle 'taught them to fly kites and shoot marbles and told them long stories of ghosts and witches'. 'Sentence S' talks about how 'he helped at their sports and made playthings for them'. Thus it seems logical that S is the fourth sentence, leaving R as the third sentence of the arrangement as it tells us about who 'they' are. 'Sentences S' and '6', respectively, justify 'Sentence R' being the third sentence of our correct arrangement.
