Which one do you think it should be?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (conqueror):

Not quite.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

umm A?

OpenStudy (conqueror):

I agree.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what do yall think as well?

OpenStudy (conqueror):

The sky was clear and blue, and suddenly it starts raining. 'Was' indicates past tense...'and suddenly it starts raining' indicates present tense.

OpenStudy (anonymous):
