Correct Answer: stayed


Solution : The correct choice is the third option.

Explanation:
In this context, the most suitable word is stayed. The sentence indicates that due to heavy rain, the person's father chose to remain or spend the night at the speaker's place instead of going elsewhere.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • "Delayed" means to be late or postpone.
  • "Peddled" means to sell goods or services.
  • "Berated" means to scold or criticise someone angrily.

Therefore, the complete sentence would be: It was raining heavily, that’s why your father stayed at my place last night.
