CorrectNot quiteAnswer D

Correct answer: D

Explanation

  1. "Given" means "taking into account", and needs a noun: P, finished by Q "on the highway," with the main clause, "it is".

  2. "It is" needs a word to describe: S "surprising that the ambulance", and R gives the ambulance its verb.

  3. So the order is PQSR: "Given the heavy traffic on the highway, it is surprising that the ambulance reached the hospital in time."

Worth noting

PRSQ puts "reached the hospital in time" right after "the heavy traffic", as if the traffic reached the hospital.
