P : Soon after this, he was advised to go to England to study to be a lawyer. Q : Studies did not interest him and he did not do well. R : It was difficult for him to leave India and go to a foreign land where he would have to eat and drink with foreigners. S : This would not be easy. The proper sequence should be
- AP S R Q
- BS Q P R
- CP R Q S
- DQ P S R
Explanation
Q explains why S1's college stint was short: studies did not interest Gandhi and he did poorly. P follows: he was then advised to go to England to study law. S ('This would not be easy') refers to that journey. R explains why it would not be easy: leaving India for a land where he must eat and drink with foreigners. S6 gives the consequence: it was against his religion and his relatives opposed it. Hence QPSR, i.e. option D.
