CorrectNot quiteAnswer A

Correct answer: A

Explanation

  1. "It is high time" is followed by a past form even though it means now: S, then P "the city built".

  2. Built what? R "a proper drain for", and "for" needs what the drain carries: Q.

  3. So the order is SPRQ: "It is high time the city built a proper drain for the rainwater."

Worth noting

PSQR opens with "the city built", which leaves "it is high time" after the verb it should introduce.
