Key Points

• While arranging the parts of the passage given in the options, we have to find some grammatical or contextual connections between them, so let’s find out.  
  • The first statement in the sequence should be the one that best connects with S1.
  • It should be a continuation or extension of S1.
  • From S1 and S6, it is clear that the passage is about the pursuit of happiness.
  • R follows S1 because it is adding information to the context by talking about a little reflection that will prove that in reality, these sense objects cannot make anyone happy.
  • Q follows R because it is adding more information to R by talking about a condemned prisoner and his happiness.
  • P is directly connected to S6 as P is talking about a wise man with a properly attuned mind.
• Therefore, the sequence is 'S1RQSPS6.'
