Look! The sun ______ out from behind the clouds.
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. is coming
- Step 1: 'Look!' signals an action in progress now, so the present continuous is needed.
Answer
is coming.
Why not the others: "came" is wrong because the simple past does not fit 'Look!' for a present event. "has been coming" is wrong because this is not used for a single immediate event. "comes" is wrong because the present simple does not describe an action happening as we speak.
