Given below are six sentences, out of which the first (S1) and the sixth (S6) are fixed. The remaining four sentences (P, Q, R, S) have been jumbled. Arrange them in the correct order to form a coherent paragraph. S1: The history of English literature is usually divided into different periods. S6: This is the real danger of periodization, which tends to give the impression of distinct categories where there are none. P: However there are important discontinuities to be kept in mind. Q: Each period has unique features that produce certain family resemblances between the writers of a particular period. R: Scholars often specialize in periods such as Medieval, Renaissance, Romantic, Victorian, and Modern literature. S: Failure to detect these discontinuities often produce a false sense of uniformity and consensus within a period.
