DNot raining
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Raining heavily
1. An idiom carries a figurative meaning, not a literal one.
2. "Raining cats and dogs" does not mean animals fall from the sky.
3. It means the rain is very heavy.
**Why not the others:** Raining animals is the literal reading, raining softly is the opposite, and not raining ignores the phrase.
