Solution

The correct option is D RPSQ
R is the logical link to S1 as it continues the topic introduced in S1, explaining what Gandhi's first political fast was about. It is then followed by P which explains the purpose of the fast. S must be the next sentence to follow as it introduces an idea supporting the previous sentence. The topic introduced in S is further explained and supported by Q. RPSQ is the only sequence that coherently connects S!1 to S6.
