Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Correct sequence: Q P S R.
Reasoned explanation:
Q — This was very unusual because a man of his father's status was expected to send his son to an English school.
P — Describes the immediate benefit of attending the Pathshala: he became familiar with his mother tongue and learned to read and write it.
S — Shows the social effect at school: he mixed with children of all castes and lost the sense of class superiority.
R — Concludes with the cultural outcome: he became acquainted with some of the rich treasures of Indian culture.
Flow summary: The passage moves from explaining why he attended a village Pathshala (an unusual choice given his father's status), to the educational benefit, to the social experiences at school, and finally to the cultural acquaintance that resulted. Therefore the coherent order is Q → P → S → R.
