A Correct answer
Explanation

S connects with 1 as it logically follows the statement in 1 by a direct statement of advice for the Congress in S. The pronoun ‘it’ in R connects to the noun ‘the Congress’ in S. The pronoun ‘this’ in P connects to the noun ‘suggestions’ in R. The pronoun ‘it’ in 6 connects directly to the noun ‘the role of opposition’ in Q. Thus, 6 logically follows Q.
