You are required to find out the proper sequence of the four sentences and mark your response accordingly on the Answer Sheet.

S1 :Why do the English travel?
S6:For here, in cosmopolitan England, one is always exposed to the danger of meeting all sorts of peculiar aliens.
P:Besides, they are taught that travel broadens the mind.
Q:They do so mainly because their neighbor does this and they have caught the bug from him.
R:Although they have now discovered the sad truth that whatever travel may do to the mind, it certainly broadens other parts of the body.
S:But, and perhaps mainly, they travel to avoid foreigners.

The proper sequence should be 

A) R S Q P B) P R S Q
