Explanation
S1 says technology conjures images of mills and machines. P gives the classic symbol, Ford's assembly line. S counters that the symbol has always been inadequate. Q supports this with the horse collar, a non-machine advance, and R generalizes that technology includes techniques as well as machines, leading into S6's list of chemical reactions, fish breeding, and teaching history. Hence (b) PSQR is correct.
