S1: A gentleman trying to get a fly out of the milk, or a piece of cork out of his glass of wine often imagines himself to be irritated.
S6: But I pointed out to him that this sense of wrong was really subjective and relative; it rested entirely upon the assumption that the drawer could, should, and would come out easily.
P: Again, I have known some people of very modern views driven by their distress to the use of theological terms to which they attached no doctrinal significance, merely because a drawer was jammed tight and they could not pull it out.
Q: Everyday his drawer was jammed, and everyday, in consequence, it was something else that rhymes to it.
R: A friend of mine was particularly afflicted in this way.
S: Let him think for a moment of the patience of anglers sitting by dark pools, and let his soul be immediately irradiated with gratification and repose.

Solution

The correct option is A SPRQ
The first statement in the sequence should be the one that best connects with S1. It must be a continuation or extension of S1.
S is first in the sequence: S1 says that a person trying to get a fly out of milk or a piece of cork out of his glass of wine finds himself to be irritated. S continues S1's point. It says that let the person think for a moment of the patience of the anglers sitting by dark pools and let his soul be irradiated with repose.
S is followed by P: P adds a point to the topic. It says that the subject has found that people make use of theological terms with no doctrines attached to them merely because they're distressed. One example being that the drawer is jammed.
P is followed by R: R continues P's point. It says that the subject's friend is afflicted in the above mentioned way.
R is followed by Q: Q explains R's point. It says that everyday the friend's drawer was jammed and everyday it was something else that rhymes to it. S6 follows R by saying that the subject pointed out that this sense of wrong was subjective as it rested upon the assumption that the drawer is to come out easily.
Thus, the correct sequence is S P R Q. Hence, A is the correct option.

Wherefore Christian was left to tumble in the Slough of Despond alone: but still he endeavoured to struggle to that side of the slough that was still further from his own house, and next to the wicket-gate; the which he did, but could not get out, because of the burden that was upon his back: but I beheld in my dream, that a man came to him, whose name was Help, and asked him, What he did there?
CHR: Sir, said Christian, I was bid go this way by a man called Evangelist, who directed me also to yonder gate, that I might escape the wrath to come; and as I was going thither I fell in here.
