Explanation

PSRQ. The first sentence tells us about Jagdish’s long walk through the jungle and his tiredness. Thus the next one would be where he comes to a place where he decides to camp. The next one would be where he stretches himself to rest. The one that will follow will be the one where he is bothered by the mosquitoes. The next would be where he climbs to the top of a tree and finally is rid of the mosquitoes.
