Because the reaction is elementary one, the rate determining element/compound is are i.e. why are power will decide the order of reaction?

The limiting reactant becomes R, so the kinetics of the reaction depend only on the concentration of R.

Because concentration of S is too large therefore it can not show appreciable change in its concentration and we can include it in constant. Hence order of reaction is 1 with respect to A. This mechanism is called as Pseudo order reaction.
