Sentence 1- The first sentence should always introduce the subject matter of the paragraph to the reader. Sentence Q introduces the subject of Sherlock Holmes. Other sentences talk about the same subject but not introduce it, as clearly as Sentence Q.

Sentence 2- Sentence S is next in sequence as it is a continuation and elaboration of sentence Q. It further how was Sherlock Holmes created in the fictional world by and who was he inspired from.

Sentence 3-Sentence R talks about how Arthur Doyle, the author of the stories met the inspiration for this character.
