Explanation

1 refers to gratuitous advice given to women. This connects with P as P mentions the latest piece of advice offered by a certain singer. R connects with P as it contains the particular advice given by ‘the singer’. S connects with R as the pronoun ‘he’ in S connects with the noun ‘the singer’ in R. S contains the actual statement given by the singer and it connects with Q as Q directly refers to ‘the singers’ remarks’ in S. 6 sums up the situation conclusively.
