Para-jumble (the American “melting pot” idea): Reorder the sentences to argue that full homogenization never happened, differences remained, and are now celebrated. S1 = "For decades, American society has been called a melting pot." S6 = "In recent years, such differences—accentuated by immigrants from Asia and elsewhere—have become something to celebrate and to nurture." Between S1 and S6, sequence the claims and evidence: P = "Differences remained — in appearance, mannerisms, customs, speech, religion and more." Q = "The term has long been a cliché and a half-truth." R = "But homogenisation was never achieved." S = "Yes, immigrants from diverse cultures and traditions did cast off vestiges of their native lands and became almost imperceptibly woven into the American fabric." Choose the correct sequence of P–Q–R–S that completes the paragraph.
