Directions: This question consists of six sentences of a passage. The first and sixth sentences are given as S1 and S6. The middle four sentences in each have been jumbled up and labelled as P, Q, R, and S. You are required to find the proper sequence of the four sentences and mark your response accordingly.

S1: After three years of living under the world’s most stringent pandemic restrictions, thousands of people in China have taken to the streets in many cities, calling for an end to lockdowns and the “zero-COVID” policy.
P: The emergence of more transmissible but milder variants has, however, rendered that approach increasingly obsolete, particularly when vaccines are enabling countries to live with the virus.
Q: The lockdowns, mass testing, and quarantining of infected cases and close contacts formed a strategy that helped China emerge faster than any other country out of the first COVID-19 wave, avoiding mass deaths seen in the rest of the world.
R: The unprecedented protests, on a scale not seen since 1989, reflect public weariness towards a policy that appears out of date.
S: The ruling Communist Party of China would do well to listen.
S6: To deal with new variants, China’s lockdowns have grown harsher.
