Read the excerpt from “All Summer in a Day” by Ray Bradbury. It had been raining for seven years; thousands upon thousands of days compounded and filled from one end to the other with rain, with the drum and gush of water, with the sweet crystal fall of showers and the concussion of storms so heavy they were tidal waves come over the islands. A thousand forests had been crushed under the rain and grown up a thousand times to be crushed again.

What does the imagery Bradbury uses in this line suggest?

…with the drum and gush of water, with the sweet crystal fall of showers and the concussion of storms so heavy they were tidal waves, come over the islands.

The rain falls so heavily that the sound is deafening.

The rain varies from violent storms to softly falling showers.

The rainfall can be rather pleasant at times.

The rain falls so heavily that it floods everything.
