The correct answer is option 3 i.e. SRQP.

  •  While arranging the parts of the passage, we have to find some grammatical or contextual connections between them-
    • S follows sentence 1 as it tells what the European colonists had left back home when they arrived in North America.
    • Next is R which is followed by Q as it describes what all they had to face after arriving.
    • Last is P as as 'this' refers to the reality that is mentioned in R and Q.


Correct order- European colonists arrived in North America. They had left behind all the comforts of home. There was no longer a corner store where they could do the grocery shopping. If their tools or equipment broke, there was no place to purchase replacements. This was a harsh reality in a world where they had to fight for their own survival. More settlers came to the English colonies than to those of the French or Spanish.

Q - But there could be no doubt that he was in reality still possessed to the full by the new idea, whatever that might be.   R - The Corporation, private residents, and major and minor tradesmen had, in fact, gone in for comforting beverages to such an extent that they had quite forgotten, not only the Mayor, but all those vast, political, religious, and social differences which they felt necessary to maintain in the daytime, and which separated them like iron grills.

Anyone who has had a scary dream has wondered what is the purpose of such dreams. P. A new study may be able to shed light on that, concluding that scary dreams prepare us to deal with real-life threats.  Q. It was found that the longer  someone had felt fear in their dreams, the less the insula, cingulate and amygdala [the brain region that flips on the fight-or-flight response] were activated when the same person looked at the negative pictures. R. Researchers caution that not all scary dreams are created equal, however, nightmares — dreams characterized by extreme levels of fear — often disrupt sleep and linger with an individual long after they wake. S. Their future work will examine nightmares more closely; they suspect they will not find the same benefits from them as from mildly scary dreams. 6. “We believe that if a certain threshold of fear is exceeded in a dream, it loses its beneficial role as an emotional regulator,” Dr Perogamvros said.
