Explanation
S1: 'Patriotism is an old virtue.' Q gives its ancient root ('in the primitive age, man loved the spot where he was born'). P defines it ('love of one's country... noblest sentiments'), and R ('we must expand that love') plus S ('the country should be loved and served') lead into S6: 'It is not enough; we must have love for all humanity.' Hence (c) QPRS.
