Solution
The correct option is A SRQP
A cursory glance at all the lines of the passage shows that we are dealing with a fire crisis aboard a ship or a boat. The first line S1 is talking about smoke oozing up which implies a fire has already started. So we can either go with sequence RS or SR. Flames are the clearest indication of fire. So we can deduce SR as starting sequence. The last line S6 talks about the reaction of the people on hearing something. The something here would obviously refer to abandoning of ship. Hence we can get PS6 as mandatory pair. Hence the option (a) is the answer.
