Explanation
R picks up S1's theme, the status of women: the movement for their freedom and rights is gaining momentum. Q shows the gain - educated city women enjoy equality with men. P turns with 'But' to the villages, where the plight is still miserable. S diagnoses the cause - neglected education - which S6 answers: education can lift women out of misery and ignorance. Hence RQPS, option B, is correct.
