For the four sentences (S1 to S4) paragraph below, sentences S1 and S4 are given. From P, Q, R and S, select the appropriate sentences for S2 and S3 respectively. S1.

She was more familiar with the vistas, the promising valleys with their hidden hamlets, the scope of the future arranged in terms of hills and light.

Bianca regarded visitors to Montefiore with fierce attention: emissaries of the world. But the bones of her home– the house itself– remain as familiar and unregarded as her own fingernails. Montefiore was larger than a farmer’s villa but not as imposing as a castle. Too far from anywhere important to serve as a castle– a country house– it crowned an upthrust shoulder of land so its fortifications were natural. On all sides the steepness of the slope was a deterrent to invaders, and anyway. Montefiore wasn’t large enough to interest the condottien who led their small armies along the riverbank on one campaign or another. Had Bianca an adult eye, she might have guessed from its mismatched roof and inconsistent architectural details that many owners had lived here before her family arrived, shaping the space with disregard for symmetry or loveliness. When its masters had money, they’d made attempts to drill a little grandeur into the old stone hull, like crisp starched lace tied under wet chins of the drooling ‘nonna’. A recently completed courtyard handsomely done with columns and vaults in their received arc…
