To arrange the sentences into a coherent paragraph, we need to identify the logical flow of ideas:
(Q) "Students should not be afraid of making mistakes." - This sentence introduces the main topic of discussion: the attitude students should have towards mistakes.
(R) "Mistakes are often the best teachers." - Follows by explaining why the main topic is important, highlighting the value of mistakes as learning tools.
(S) "Accepting errors positively is a sign of growth." - Expands on the previous idea by discussing the positive outcome of acknowledging mistakes.
(P) "They can learn a lot from their mistakes." - Concludes by reinforcing the idea that learning from mistakes is beneficial.
Thus, the correct sequence is QRSP, forming the paragraph: "Students should not be afraid of making mistakes. Mistakes are often the best teachers. Accepting errors positively is a sign of growth. They can learn a lot from their mistakes."
