Explanation:

From the options, it can be gathered that Q, R or P can be the first sentence. But since Q starts with “but” and R starts with a pronoun “they”, which cannot be referred to anything mentioned in S1, Q and R cannot be the first sentence. So P is the first sentence. R follows P as “they” refers to “comfort and cleanliness”. S is connected with S6 where S mentions the elements and S6 talks about their connection. Thus, the S is followed by Q. The correct sequence is PRQS.
