CorrectNot quiteAnswer A

Correct answer: A

Explanation

  1. "The more ..., the fewer ..." is a pair: S begins it, and Q finishes the first half and starts the second with "the".

  2. P completes "the fewer mistakes", and R gives that half its subject and verb.

  3. 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".
