Question

choose the phrase that best completes this sentence.
la calle está llena de agua por _______________.
a. el tornado
b. la tormenta
c. la inundación
d. el granizo

Explanation:

First, translate the sentence and options: The sentence means "The street is full of water because of ______."

• A. el tornado = the tornado (tornados are wind-driven, not directly the cause of standing street water)
• B. la tormenta = the storm (a storm with heavy rain is the direct cause of a street filling with water)
• C. la inundación = the flood (the street being full of water is a flood, so this is a restatement, not a cause)
• D. el granizo = the hail (hail does not leave standing water to fill a street)

The logical causal phrase is "la tormenta".

Answer:

B. la tormenta
