Explanation:

- The passage discusses a weather forecast for Delhi, indicating rain patterns and preparations for water logging.

- Blank 3 Analysis:

- Option 1: "expecting" – This word indicates an ongoing action, but the structure requires a passive form. Not suitable here.

- Option 2: "has expected" – This phrase uses a past participle and suggests past completion, which doesn't fit the forecast context. Thus, it's not fitting.

- Option 3: "are expected" – The phrase is in present passive form. It aligns with predicting a future event, making it the right fit.

- Option 4: "expects" – This implies a singular subject condition which doesn't agree with the plural "areas."

Based on the analysis, your answer "Option:3 - are expected" is correct.
