Correct Answer: (3)


Solution : The error lies in the third part of the sentence.

The idiom cats and dogs is a Greek expression that means it is raining very heavily. In this context, it means it rained unbelievably hard. It is used generally when it rains unusually, and like is not part of the idiom. Thus, it should be omitted to make the sentence grammatically correct.

Therefore, the correct sentence would be: Yesterday it rained cats and dogs .
