  1. How was it raining?

  2. Was it raining?

  3. It was raining heavily, wasn't it?

  4. None of the above

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A 'wh' question is asked for information about something.
The given sentence says how heavily 'it was raining'.
Option A: This is the most suitable question, as it asks "how was it raining", it wants information on how it was raining (scarcely or heavily).
Hence option A is correct.
Option B: This is a yes/no question. It does not ask for any information but asks if it was raining or not. Hence this isn't an appropriate question.
Option C: This is also a yes/no question that does not ask for information (about how it rained). It requires a confirmation - 'Yes, it was'.
Hence options B and C are incorrect.
Option D is incorrect because the answer lies in A.

'Where' indicates location, 'when' indicates time and 'how' asks about the manner in which something happens.
These questions cannot be answered by 'because', hence options B, C and D are incorrect.

Option C: 'Which' is used when a choice is presented between two things. In the given question, there isn't any choice.

So, options A, C and D are incorrect.
