Correct Answer RSQP

The correct sequence is 'RSQP'.

The first sentence of the correct arrangement must provide information about the subject of the passage. Sentence 1 provided to us, talks about 'Arabia' as a 'desert'.

Out of all the given sentences, the sentence that further provides us with the description of a desert is 'Sentence R' as it ends with the mention of 'sand and rock'. Therefore, 'Sentence R' forms the first sentence of our correct arrangement.

'Sentence S' is the only sentence that further talks about 'sand' and thus it logically follows R, forming the second sentence of our correct arrangement.

If we look at the last sentence of the arrangement i.e. 6, it talks about 'springs' and 'wherever there is one, trees grow tall and graceful'. 'Sentence P' talks about how 'they are so deep that even the sun cannot dry them up'. Thus it seems logical that 'Sentence P' is the fourth sentence, as it justifies the growing of trees 'tall and graceful' in a desert.

Leaving 'Sentence Q' as the third sentence of the arrangement as it introduces us to the idea that 'here and there in the desert are springs of water that come from deep under the ground'.
