S. the more carefully you
Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
"The more ..., the fewer ..." is a pair: S begins it, and Q finishes the first half and starts the second with "the".
P completes "the fewer mistakes", and R gives that half its subject and verb.
So the order is SQPR: "The more carefully you read the question, the fewer mistakes you will make."
Worth noting
SQRP puts "you will make" after "the", which cuts "the" off from "fewer mistakes".
