Correct Answer : 2
Solution :
After reading the parts, it can be noted that part 1 talks about a particular outstanding feature of the 21st century leading to pair QR in which the outstanding feature of the 21st century is described. It is followed by part S which denotes the person (working man), who enjoys the feature that is mentioned earlier, and part P leads to part 6, which makes a pair with part 6, describing the result or the effect of the outstanding feature that is discussed in the sentence. So, the final order is 1QRSP6.
The complete sentence is: An outstanding feature of the 21st century has been the improvement of the income and living conditions of the working man leading to greater security and education which has meant greater political power.
Hence, the correct answer is option (b).
