Concept- Tenses denote the time an action takes place. Tenses are often divided into three parts
1) present 2) past and therefore
3) tense
Each of those can further be divided into 4 subparts
1) Simple tense
2) Imperfect 3) Perfective
4) Perfect tense.
The statement has yesterday which implies that it's within the tense. So so as to finish the sentence, the choice with the tense should be chosen so on make the sentence grammatically correct.
Option 1) Are visiting play
This option is inaccurate because it's the current tense. It implies that within the contemporary world the kids are visiting play which is wrong.
Option 2) Visited play
This option is wrong because within the sentence it implies that they may not attend play because it absolutely was raining.
Option 3) Have gone to play
This option is correct because have gone to play is that the present and therefore the sentence given is that the past.
Option 4) Were visiting play
This option is correct because it tells us that they were near to head to play but couldn't go because it absolutely was raining.
