Explanation:

Sentences ‘R’ & ‘S’ would come after ‘Q’, since the pronoun ‘he’ used in these sentences refer to Toynbee, whose mention comes in sentence ‘Q’. Also, sentence ‘R’ would follow sentence ‘S’, because sentence ‘R’ refers to the birth, growth and decay of civilization and the idea of civilization has been introduced in sentence ‘S’. Sentence ‘P’ is general in nature and sentence ‘Q’ would follow sentence ‘P’ because sentence ‘P’ mentions the idea of History in general and sentence ‘Q’ mentions how Toynbee’s view was different from this general idea.
Hence, the correct sequence will be S1, P, Q, S, R, S6.
