Explanation
S1 says he resisted colonial education not just because it was Western. P gives the essential reason (elitism, irrelevance to rural masses); R adds another reason with "moreover" (damaging pedagogic effect); Q gives a "for example" illustration (English as medium of instruction); S continues the English point (making one a stranger in one's own land); and S6 adds a further consequence (dignity of manual labour). This gives PRQS. Hence option A.
