Question

It was raining heavily.
a. How was it raining?
b. Was it raining?
c. It was raining heavily, wasn’t it?
d. None of the above

Answer 1

Hint: ‘Wh’ questions begin with when, what, who, where, why, which, whose, whom, and how. They are basically used to ask for information.

Complete step-by-step answer:

The listed question says, how heavily it was raining.
The correct option in the given options is an option [a], as it wants information on how it was raining. It also is the most suitable question.
Option [b] is wrong as it is a yes or no question. It does not ask for any information but asks if it was raining or not.
Option [c] is also wrong as it is also a yes or no question, which does not ask for information, it just asks for a confirmation that yes it was raining.
Option [d] is definitely incorrect because we already got our correct answer in the option [a]. We can use wh-words and phrases after prepositions in informal questions.
For.eg. Where will the flowers come from?
             From where will the flowers come?

Note:
'Wh' questions are a major part of our daily writing. The answer of these questions cannot be yes or no.
