Para-jumble (train compartment quarrel): Reorder the sentences to show how a crowded coach and a window dispute ruined the narrator's sleep. S1 = "I usually sleep quite well in the train, but this time I slept only a little." S6 = "It was shut all night, as usual." Between S1 and S6, sequence the fragments by cause and effect: P = "Most people wanted it shut and I wanted it open." Q = "As usual, I got angry about the window." R = "The quarrel left me completely upset." S = "There were too many people and huge luggage all around." Choose the correct sequence of P–Q–R–S that completes the paragraph.
