Explanation:

‘Me’ used in sentences ‘P’ & ‘R’ refer to the first person ‘I’ used in sentence ‘S’. Hence both ‘P’ & ‘R’ would come after ‘S’. The only option with this arrangement is ‘4’. Sentence ‘Q’ is a general statement referring to the educational system, hence it would come after S1. As far as arrangement of ‘P’ and ‘R’ is concerned, sentence ‘P’ is in present tense (makes me) and hence cannot be used after ‘S’ which is in past tense (used to grip). Sentence ‘R’ refers to the nightmares which the author has at present and hence, ‘P’ will come after ‘R’. So, the correct sequence is, S1, Q, S, R, P, S6.
Hence, option ‘4’ is correct.
