Answer options

  1. let up
  2. let in
  3. let off
  4. let go

Correct answer and explanation

Correct answer: let up

Explanation: The blank needs a phrasal verb that describes the rain's behavior, specifically implying it didn't stop or lessen. 'Let up' means to decrease or stop (e.g., rain easing). 'There was no let up in the rain' means the rain continued relentlessly, fitting perfectly in meaning and grammar. A. let up ✅: Means rain didn't stop or lessen, correct for the context. B. let in ❌: Means to allow entry, irrelevant to rain's intensity. C. let off ❌: Means to release or excuse, doesn’t fit rain context. D. let go ❌: Means to release something held, not applicable to rain. Correct Answer: A. let up
