Select the correct expression to complete the sentence :

It___since morning.

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

Option 1 -> Present perfect continuous tense (has been + verb-ing), correctly used with "since morning" to show an action that started in the past and continues to the present.

Option 2 -> Grammatically incorrect; "has" cannot be directly followed by the -ing form without "been."

Option 3 -> Grammatically incorrect; "will" must be followed by the base form of the verb, not the -ing form.

Option 4 -> Simple present form doesn't work with "since morning," which requires a perfect tense to indicate duration from past to present.


Hence, Option 1: has been raining -> "Since morning" indicates an action that began in the past and continues into the present, requiring the present perfect continuous tense structure -> correct
