‘P’ will be the first part of the given sequence as it is in contrastwith the previous statement which is clearly indicated from the word, ‘but’. ‘S’ will follow next as it takes the plot forward and is in contrast to ‘P’ which is clear from the words, ‘against his will’. ‘Q’ will come next as it takes the story forward and describes the subject’s reaction for the action taken in ‘S’. ‘R’ will follow logically as it begins with the word, ‘soon’ and completes the plot.Hence, PSQR is the correct sequence. Thus, option (d) is correct.
