Explanation

The passage describes the shift of a young man a career of wrestling to that of shoe making. Hence, (6) serves as the best starter for the same. (5) describes that his manner of bending the thumb made it obvious that he had no more future in the wrestling pit. 'Bending the thumb' in (4) links with (5). (1) carries the discussion in '654' forward. 'he continued' in (2) is linked with 'Mr. Havel' in (1). (3) obviously is the conclusive statement of the passage. Hence, 654123.
