It _ every summer in this region.
Correct answer: A. Rains
- A. Rains
- B. Rained
- C. Is raining
- D. Rain
Explanation
The sentence describes an action that occurs regularly every summer, which is a habitual action. In English, habitual actions in the present tense are expressed using the simple present tense. Therefore, 'rains' is the correct choice. 'Rained' is incorrect because it refers to a past action, 'is raining' is incorrect as it implies a current ongoing action, and 'rain' is incorrect because it is the base form and not used to describe a habitual action.
