Question

Choose the right answer :It _______raining heavily for a week. The wells are overflowing.

• A. is
• B. have been
• C. has been
• D. was

Answer 1

Answer:

C. has been

• Tense Rule: Actions continuing over a period up to the present require the Present Perfect Continuous tense (has/have been + verb-ing).

• Subject-Verb Agreement: The subject "It" is third-person singular, so it takes has been rather than have been.

Complete Sentence:

"It has been raining heavily for a week. The wells are overflowing."
