Explanation:

PSQR, S1 indicates a series of misconceptions, P mentions the most common misconception hence becomes the first sentence to follow S1. P states that all snakes being poisonous is a misconception, S takes the idea further as it states the number of such non-poisonous and
poisonous snakes. Q introduces a fresh idea denoted by ‘Another’, so Q follows S. R clarifies the misconception stated in Q, hence R follows Q and becomes the last sentence to be arranged before S6.
