CorrectNot quiteAnswer B

Correct answer: B

Explanation

  1. "The longer ..., the softer ..." is a pair: S begins it, and Q gives "you" its verb and object.

  2. T finishes the first half with a comma, and P begins the second half, whose verb is R.

  3. So the order is SQTPR: "The longer you leave the rice in water before cooking, the softer it will become."

Worth noting

QSTPR opens with "leave the rice", a verb with no subject, and pushes "the longer you" after it.
