'Yet' is used to show the contrast between two conditions and it is incorrect according to the context of the given sentence so it will be replaced by 'still'. Hence, 'still raining' will be the correct sentence structure. Still is used when something was happening in the past and is happening at the time of speaking too.

Question 2:
The following sentence has been divided into parts, which contains an error. Select the part that contains the error from the given options.
You and I have submitted / your work / on time.
your work
on time
You and I
have submitted
'Our' is the possessive form of 'we' and it means something belonging to us(more than a single person). Similarly in the given sentence, the work belongs to both the persons and not to a single person. Hence, 'our work' is the most appropriate structure.
Question 3:
The following sentence has been divided into parts, which contains an error. Select the part that contains the error from the given options.
The more harder / you work, / the better / it will be.
The more harder
you work
"The more harder" - When we do a comparison between two things, we don't use 'more' with a comparative degree (harder) because it becomes a case of superfluousness (not necessary). Hence, 'more' will be removed from the sentence & 'The harder' becomes the most appropriate structure.

Should us all
No improvement required
May all we
'We' is a subject pronoun and is used in subject position & 'Us' is an object pronoun and is used in object position. Similarly, in the given sentence, 'we' must be used as a subject pronoun. Moreover, the modal verb 'can' must be followed by a pronoun. Hence, 'Can we all' is the most appropriate answer.
