The given sentences, when arranged in the correct order, form a coherent paragraph. Each sentence is labelled. Select the most logical sequence of the sentences from the options given below to construct a meaningful paragraph, keeping 1 as the first sentence and 6 as the last sentence. 1. Social media platforms constantly present carefully curated images of success, luxury, achievement, and happiness that rarely reflect people’s actual lives. P - This unhealthy dependence on external approval eventually leads to stress, emotional exhaustion, loss of individuality, and a lingering sense of depression. Q - As this fear intensifies, many individuals begin neglecting their genuine relationships, personal aspirations, and emotional well-being while seeking online validation. R - Continuous exposure to these idealised portrayals gradually creates feelings of inadequacy, dissatisfaction, and the fear of missing out among viewers. S - To overcome such anxiety, individuals must practise self-reflection, identify their authentic values and aspirations, and reject impulsive desires shaped by digital trends. 6. Once people begin living according to their true purpose rather than social media expectations, they experience greater freedom, inner peace, confidence, and lasting happiness.
Solution
✅ Correct Option: 2
R follows sentence 1 because “these idealised portrayals” refers to the curated social-media images already introduced. Q must follow R because “this fear” refers to the fear of missing out mentioned in R. P then gives the result of seeking online validation, while S introduces the remedy that leads naturally into sentence 6. The sequence is RQPS. Traps: Q cannot come before R because “this fear” has not yet been introduced. S cannot come early because it gives the solution before the problem and its effects are fully developed.
