Correct Answer: No substitution required


Solution : The fourth option is correct.

The underlined segment in the given sentence does not require substitution.This segment effectively conveys the time frame of the action (leaving the house) in relation to the rain (it was raining). It provides context for the sequence of events, indicating that the rain was occurring at the time of departure.

Therefore, the correct answer is "no substitution required".
