Question
S1: Until the first atomic energy bombs fell on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the atom and its behaviour had been remote from everyday affairs.
S6: So the idea grew up that the product of long years at atomic research had led only to a fresh weapon of destruction more powerful than any known before.
P: There was something queer and incomprehensible about them.
Q: And secondly, that something new and devastating had been added to the list of man's victories over nature.
R: But it, in the first place, made us realize that the atom and its ways were no longer something apart from everyday life.
S: The atomic bombing of Japan did not resolve that incomprehensibility.
The proper sequence should be:

Solution
The correct option is B PSRQ
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 until the first atomic bombs fell, the atom and its behaviour had been remote from everyday affairs. P goes on to say that there was nothing unusual and incomprehensible about them.P is followed by S: S continues P's point. It says that the atomic bombing on Japan did not resolve that incomprehensibility.S is followed by R: R adds a point through S. It says that it did not resolve the incomprehensibility but it made us realise that the atom and its ways were no longer something apart from everyday life. R is followed by Q: Q adds another point after R. It says that it also made us realise that something new and devastating had been added to the list of man's victories over nature. The word 'secondly' indicates that Q follows R. S6 concludes the topic by saying that all this gave rise to the idea that all the years of atomic research had only led to a fresh weapon of destruction.Thus, the correct sequence is P S R Q. Hence, A is the correct option.

P is first in the sequence: S1 says that until the first atomic bombs fell, the atom and its behaviour had been remote from everyday affairs. P goes on to say that there was nothing unusual and incomprehensible about them.
P is followed by S: S continues P's point. It says that the atomic bombing on Japan did not resolve that incomprehensibility.
S is followed by R: R adds a point through S. It says that it did not resolve the incomprehensibility but it made us realise that the atom and its ways were no longer something apart from everyday life.
R is followed by Q: Q adds another point after R. It says that it also made us realise that something new and devastating had been added to the list of man's victories over nature. The word 'secondly' indicates that Q follows R. S6 concludes the topic by saying that all this gave rise to the idea that all the years of atomic research had only led to a fresh weapon of destruction.
Thus, the correct sequence is P S R Q. Hence, A is the correct option.
