Explanation

QRSP. The first sentence is asking a question about the country. The one to follow it will be the statement where the author is talking about the past and the childhood dreams. The next to follow will be the question where the author questions the childhood dreams. The next is again a question where the author is challenging the state of future because of the hatred and violence in the present. The last will be the one where the author assures himself that it would not be so bad. Thus, with this the passage will progress naturally to its conclusion which is the sixth sentence that is already given.
