Answer:

  sugar

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to know the middle item, given that rice < sugar and sugar < flour.

When we write the given relations all together, we get ...

  rice < sugar < flour

It is pretty clear that the middle item is sugar.

Additional comment

We can use the < symbol for the left-right ordering, in recognition of the fact that numbers on the left of the symbol are left of numbers on the right of the symbol when they are placed on a number line.

Thus "sugar is right of rice" can be written as "rice < sugar", where "sugar" is on the right side of this symbol.
