The first statement in the sequence should be the one that best connects with S1. It must be a continuation or extension of S1.
Q is first in the sequence: S1 says that the subject had not seen his/her father for several years. Q continues by saying that the subject wrote him a note suggesting a very early meeting.
Q is followed by P: P tells us what happens next. It says that the subject met him late one evening in his flat.
P is followed by R: R tells what happened in their meeting. It says that he listened to the subject's story in silence.
R is followed by S: S adds to R. It says that when he spoke, his voice was soft but without warmth. S6 goes on to say that his words sank deep into the subject's heart.
Thus, the correct sequence is Q P R S. Hence, C is the correct option.
