This paragraph talks about the city which is a slum and stinks most of the time, but eventhough it looked beautiful to the tourists.
The word even so plays a vital role, therefore the sentence S comes after S1. The only option here is (d).

S wants to change the meaning of (just opposite) a sentence. S1 suits there. So it is the starting. :)

Explanation: P,R contains them which means there has to be 'tourist' in starting a sentence. Because they are a tourist who are not bothered about slush and site scene excites them.
Hope this make it clear.

P, q, r have "they" or them in the sentence.
They /Them is being referred to the tourist. Hence, statement S comes first followed by the rest.
