It is raining/cats and dogs/since this morning/and the roads were flooded. (Spot the error)

AIt is raining

Bcats and dogs

Csince this morning

Dand the roads were flooded

Answer:

A. It is raining

Read Explanation:

The error in the sentence is with the phrase "It is raining."

The sentence should be in the present perfect continuous tense because it refers to an action that started in the past and is still continuing.

The correct sentence is:

"It has been raining cats and dogs since this morning, and the roads were flooded."

Here, "has been raining" correctly indicates the ongoing action of rain since this morning.
