It was raining when I _____ home yesterday ?

AHad reached

BHas reached

CHad been reaching

DReached

Answer:

D. Reached

Read Explanation:

  • The first part of the sentence ("It was raining") sets a past continuous background.

  • The second part describes a single completed action in the past that happened during that time ("when I reached home").

  • Had reached (past perfect) is used for an action that occurred before another past action, which isn't the case here.

  • Has reached (present perfect) doesn’t match the past time reference "yesterday".

  • Had been reaching (past perfect continuous) is unnecessarily complex and doesn’t fit a short completed action like "reached".

So the correct sentence is:
It was raining when I reached home yesterday.
