The correct answer is option 2 i.e. PRQS.

  •  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-
    • P follows sentence 1 as it describes the issue mentioned in sentence 1.
    • Next is R as it mentions that theories were given in response to this issue.
    • Q follows R as it mentions one of the possible reasons responsible for this issue.
    • Last is S as sentence 6 also describes the issue in Japan. So, S should precede sentence 6.

It is widely known that the use of social media affects mental health, but a new, three-year study has found that it is the lack of sleep from its use and the psychological distress caused by cyberbullying via the platforms that are the main reasons affecting one’s state of mind, more than use of the actual apps. P. Girls who were checking social media also reported to be less happy and more anxious; however, boys didn’t report the same feelings. Q. In girls, the researchers said, the negative effects were due to disrupted sleep, cyberbullying and to some extent, lack of exercise. R.

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.
