S: Mukat did not.
The proper sequence should be :

• B. PSRQ
• C. SPRQ
• D. SQPR

Answer 1

The correct option is A PRQS

The first statement in the sequence should be the one that best connects with S1. It should be a continuation or extension of S1.

P is first in the sequence: S1 says that there was a legend that the island had once been covered with tall trees. P adds to it that this was a long time ago, at the beginning of the world when Tumai and Mukat ruled.

P is followed by R: R continues P's point. It says that the two Gods, Tumai and Mukat, quarreled about many things.

R is followed by Q: Q gives one example of such a quarrel. It says that Tumai wished people to die.

Q is followed by S: S continues the example. It says that Mukat did not wish for people to die. S6 continues to tell us about the legend. It says that Tumai then went down angrily to another world and so people die today.

Thus, the correct sequence is P R Q S. Hence, A is the correct option.
