In the following question the first and the last parts of a short passage are numbered 1 and 6. The remaining parts P, Q, R and S are jumbled. The passage shows a little girl trying to find out whether her mother loves her. Read the passage and choose the option that gives the correct order of P, Q, R and S.

Introduction / Context:
This question presents a sensitive scene between a child and her mother. The girl asks, “Mother do you love me?”, which is given as sentence 1, and sentence 6 shows her climbing onto her mother's lap. The intervening parts describe her restlessness, waiting, observation of her mother's eyes and understanding. You must choose the order of P, Q, R and S that best reflects natural emotional progression.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• Sentence 1 has the girl asking her mother whether she loves her.
• Part S says that she got no direct reply and grew restless.
• Part Q tells us that she kept waiting but her mother did not speak.
• Part P states that she then looked into her mother's tear filled eyes out of impatience for a reply.
• Part R states that she then understood what her mother's eyes said and the reason for her silence.
• Sentence 6 concludes that she climbed slowly onto her mother's lap.

Concept / Approach:
Emotional narratives typically respect a clear sequence of feelings: question, silence, increasing restlessness, searching for a sign, recognition and reconciliatory action. The girl's restlessness arises because there is no answer, the look into the eyes comes from that restlessness, and understanding arises from what she sees. The physical action at the end then symbolises acceptance and love.

Step-by-Step Solution:
Step 1: After the question in sentence 1, the immediate response is silence and emotional tension. Part S captures that she receives no direct reply and becomes restless, which naturally follows the question. Step 2: Part Q then spells out that she keeps waiting but her mother still does not speak. This extends the silence and emphasises the length of the wait. Step 3: As her impatience grows, she actively seeks an answer in another way. Part P shows this action: she looks into her mother's tear filled eyes, wanting a reply. Step 4: Finally, part R states that she understands the message in her mother's eyes and the reason for the silence. That insight prepares for her gentle, trusting move onto her mother's lap in the last sentence.

Verification / Alternative check:
Read the sequence 1 S Q P R 6. The emotional curve is smooth: question, silence, growing restlessness, searching gaze, understanding, and then physical closeness. The mother never answers in words, but her eyes communicate love, and the girl responds accordingly. The last sentence fits naturally after R because understanding is followed by action.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:
In QSRP, the overlapping ideas of waiting and restlessness are reversed in a way that feels slightly repetitive and then understanding is placed before the detailed observation of the eyes. In PRQS, looking into the eyes (P) appears before we are told that the mother does not respond, which weakens the cause for that impatient look. In RQPS and QSRP, the recognition in R comes at the wrong point, before the eyes have been fully described.

Common Pitfalls:
A common mistake is to treat S and Q as interchangeable without thinking about the slight difference in meaning. Growing restless (S) is a reaction to the lack of a direct reply, and the continued waiting (Q) extends that feeling. Another pitfall is to ignore how R depends on P; understanding what the eyes say must come after the eyes are explicitly observed.

Final Answer:
The correct order of the parts is S Q P R, so the correct option is SQPR.
