Question

It was raining when I _____ home yesterday ?

• A. Had reached
• B. Has reached
• C. Had been reaching
• D. Reached

Answer 1

Answer:

D. Reached

• 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.
