CorrectNot quiteAnswer B

Correct answer: B

Explanation

  1. "The more ..., the less ..." is a fixed pair. Q begins with "the more", and P says practise what, ending on "in front of", which needs a noun.

  2. R gives that noun, "others", then the comma and the second half, "the less nervous". S gives that half its subject and verb.

  3. So the order is QPRS: "The more you practise speaking in front of others, the less nervous you will feel on the day."

Worth noting

QRPS puts "others, the less nervous" straight after "practise", which cuts "speaking in front of" off from the word it needs.
