CorrectNot quiteAnswer A

Correct answer: A

"Seldom" at the start turns the verb round: S "seldom have I seen", which needs an object: Q.
"As" compares with another crowd: R "the one that gathered", and P says why it gathered.
So the order is SQRP: "Seldom have I seen a crowd so quiet as the one that gathered to hear the old poet."

Worth noting

SRQP puts "the one that gathered" straight after "seen", which leaves "a crowd so quiet as" with nothing to compare.
