‘Q’ will be the first part of the given sequence as it continues about ‘Toynbee’s view of history’. It will be followed by ‘S’ as it talks about the fact that what has made his view different, that is, he was also interested in the rise and fall of whole civilizations. ‘R’ will pair with S6 as ‘R’ talks about the fact that he tried to study and find the pattern of civilisation (behind the birth, growth and decay). And S6 says that India was also a part of this study of civilisation. Hence, QSPR is the right sequence. Thus, option (b) is correct.
