Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A - PRQS
S1 says unhappiness does not spring only from poverty; P explains why (man is a strange creature unlike animals), R lists his far horizons, hopes and spiritual powers, Q says that if 'they' (these powers) are unsatisfied wealth does not make life worthwhile, and S ('what is missing in our age is the soul') leads into S6 ('we suffer from sickness of spirit'). Order PRQS.
