The correct answer is D. SQPR.
The first sentence, “While talking to a group, one should feel self-confident and courageous,” sets the scene for the rest of the paragraph. The second sentence, “One should also learn how to think calmly and clearly,” provides more detail about how one can develop self-confidence and courage. The third sentence, “It is not as difficult as most men imagine,” is a counterargument to the idea that it is difficult to be self-confident and courageous. The fourth sentence, “It is like the ability to play golf,” provides an analogy to help illustrate the point. The fifth sentence, “Nor is it a gift bestowed by providence on only a few,” is another counterargument to the idea that it is difficult to be self-confident and courageous. The sixth sentence, “Any man can develop his capacity if he has the desire to do so,” concludes the paragraph by restating the main point.
Option A, QRSP, is incorrect because it puts the second sentence before the first sentence. The second sentence provides more detail about how one can develop self-confidence and courage, so it should come after the first sentence, which sets the scene.
Option B, QSPR, is incorrect because it puts the third sentence before the second sentence. The third sentence is a counterargument to the idea that it is difficult to be self-confident and courageous, so it should come after the second sentence, which provides more detail about how one can develop self-confidence and courage.
Option C, RSQP, is incorrect because it puts the fourth sentence before the third sentence. The fourth sentence is an analogy to help illustrate the point, so it should come after the third sentence, which is a counterargument to the idea that it is difficult to be self-confident and courageous.
Option D, SQPR, is the correct answer because it puts the sentences in the correct order. The first sentence sets the scene, the second sentence provides more detail about how one can develop self-confidence and courage, the third sentence is a counterargument to the idea that it is difficult to be self-confident and courageous, the fourth sentence provides an analogy to help illustrate the point, and the fifth sentence concludes the paragraph by restating the main point.
