The correct sequence is 'SPRQ'.

The first sentence of the correct arrangement must provide further information about the subject of the passage. The subject of this passage is 'elephants' as indicated by 1.

Out of all the given sentences, the sentence that further talks about the subject is 'Sentence S'. It further adds on and gives us the description of an elephant. Therefore, 'S' forms the first sentence of our correct arrangement.

If we take a look at the rest of the sentences, we can see that all of them talk about the 'trunk' of an elephant. Now, If we look at the last sentence of the arrangement i.e. 'Sentence 6', it also talks about the 'trunk' of an elephant. Keeping that in mind we would derive the second sentence of the right arrangement. P is the only sentence which introduces the topic of 'trunks' in the first place. Therefore, we may conclude that 'Sentence P' forms the second sentence of our correct arrangement.

'Sentence R' and 'Sentence Q' both talk about the things that an elephant can do with the help of its trunk.

If we look at the last sentence of the arrangement i.e. 6, it talks about how the trunk serves both 'as a long arm and hand'. Since the word 'respectively' is used in the end, we can conclude that 'Sentence R' is the third sentence as 'It draws up water from its trunk, and can squirt it all over its body like a shower bath.' is equivalent to the function of 'a long arm', leaving 'Sentence Q' as the fourth sentence of the arrangement.
