Choose the most suitable option to replace the underlined part of the sentence : I would rather you go now than wait for the rain.
went
went is correct.
When "would rather" is followed by a different subject ("I would rather you ..."), the verb after that subject takes the past form, even though the meaning is present or future. This is the past subjunctive used for preference.
So "I would rather you go now" should be "I would rather you went now than wait for the rain." Compare: "I would rather you stayed here."
"Had gone" refers to a past preference ("I would rather you had gone yesterday") and does not suit "now". "Gone" cannot stand alone without an auxiliary. "Have gone" is a present perfect form that does not follow "would rather + subject".
