Explanation
The main clause is ‘the speaker reiterated before the audience’ (Q), followed by the noun clause ‘the fact that the old epithet’ (S), the epithet itself in quotes ‘all that glitters is not gold’ (P), and the verb completing the noun clause ‘is still valid’ (R). QSPR gives: ‘The speaker reiterated before the audience the fact that the old epithet "all that glitters is not gold" is still valid.’ This is option (b).
