Select the most appropriate option that can replace the underlined part of the following sentence.
It has been raining from morning.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. since.
The phrase "from morning" is incorrect in this context.
"From" is used when both the start and end times are mentioned (e.g., "from morning to evening").
Here, only the starting point is mentioned, so "since" is the correct choice.
"Since" is used when referring to a specific point in time that started in the past and continues to the present.
Correct sentence: It has been raining since morning.
Hence, the chosen option is correct.
