Q: Challenges are faced by the strong and courageous, and if life brings you such opportunities, then turn failures into success.
R: Life can be painful, but it need not be sorrowful.
S: If you want to be happy, find occasions to be cheerful.
The correct sequence should be
- ARSPQ
- BSQPR
- CQRSP
- DRQSP
Explanation
S1 urges refusing misery, and (R) "Life can be painful, but it need not be sorrowful" develops that thought directly. (Q) then turns to facing challenges and converting failures into success, (S) gives the positive prescription of finding occasions to be cheerful, and (P) warns against self-pity and blame games before S6 sums up "the art of right contact in life." The sequence R-Q-S-P is option (D).
