Answer: B

我选B,但答案是A,why?

没有明显理由可以改变原句的时态，我是这么想的.

Jarod

Past tense is required in the sentence above, and "to serve" cannot be separated from the central word it modifies. Thus, A fits best!

我也赞同B。the construction 和three separate sewer systems 的关系强于和between 1876 and 1904 ，所以应该把the construction 和three separate sewer systems紧紧联系在一起。另外，整句话感觉在强调一种结果，用完成时比较好。
