Question

The rain was.....

...... heavily on the roof during the storm.

a) tumbling
b)falling
c)pouring
d)declining

And why?

Answer 1

Answer: Pouring

Explanation: Because none of the other choices would be correct.

You can't say " The rain was declining heavily on the roof "

Or Tumbling on the roof

Falling and pouring are very different, "pouring "means coming down very fast.

Falling has no drama

Pouring lets you know you will be drenched if you are out in that type of rain.
