The rain drummed _______on the roof.
Option 1: Wildly
Option 2: newly

Correct Answer:
Wildly

- Let's examine the words' definitions:
- Wildly: in an extreme or uncontrolled manner.
- Newly: just now.
- Obediently: in a way that demonstrates your willingness to do what someone in a position of authority has asked you to do.
