CorrectNot quiteAnswer B

Correct answer: B

Explanation

  1. T begins the subject, and Q says when and gives the verb "flooded".

  2. Flooded what? R, which brings "and" and a second clause: P is its subject and S its verb.

  3. So the order is TQRPS: "The heavy rain last night flooded the roads and many schools stayed closed today."

Worth noting

QTRPS opens with "last night flooded", which leaves "the heavy rain" after its own verb.
