6. There was bliss and tranquillity around them.

Correct option is B

The correct order of the sentences is 3 → 1 → 6 → 2 → 5 → 4
Step-by-step explanation:
(3) The next moment, the boys found themselves floating over misty clouds.
· This is the best opening sentence. It sets the scene and gives us a sense of a magical or dreamlike transition.
(1) They had escaped the dark world and were enveloped in a dazzling white light which almost blinded them.
· This follows logically as a contrast to where they had come from (the dark world) and transitions from floating over clouds to being immersed in light.
(6) There was bliss and tranquillity around them.
· Describes the atmosphere post-transition, reinforcing the calming and surreal setting after they reached the white light.
(2) The fountain of immortality sprung before them from which they collected the elixir in a large conch shell.
· The main event happens now. The narrative progresses into the magical occurrence – the appearance of the fountain and collection of elixir.
(5) It was then that they saw the Formless One before them.
· With the elixir in hand, they witness a divine or mystical being – the Formless One. The phrase "It was then..." signals a sequential development.
(4) They gave him some elixir from the shell and he immediately acquired an ethereal form.
· This is the conclusion: the act of giving elixir leads to a transformation, showing the power of what they obtained.
Logical and grammatical connectors used to establish the order:
· “The next moment…” clearly indicates the start of a new experience.
· “They had escaped…” and “There was bliss…” add contextual details post-arrival.
· “It was then…” signals a key turning point or a divine revelation.
· “From which…” in (2) grammatically connects to “the fountain” being introduced.
· The use of “immediately” in (4) shows the direct result of the action in the previous sentence.
