CorrectNot quiteAnswer B

Correct answer: B

Explanation

  1. S is the subject, and P gives its verb and begins a "that" clause: "there will".

  2. "Will" needs a plain verb: Q "be heavy rain in", and "in" needs a place: T "the hills over". "Over" needs a time: R.

  3. So the order is SPQTR: "The weather report says that there will be heavy rain in the hills over the next three days."

Worth noting

PSQTR opens with "says that there will", which has no subject.
