CorrectNot quiteAnswer A

Correct answer: A

Explanation

  1. "Were the river to rise" means "if the river rose": T, then S "rise another metre," closed by a comma.

  2. The result follows: Q is its subject, R its verb, "would have to be", which needs a past form: P.

  3. So the order is TSQRP: "Were the river to rise another metre, the whole village would have to be moved to higher ground."

Worth noting

STQRP opens with "rise another metre,", a verb with no subject.
