B .  bytick.pngcross.png
C .  oftick.pngcross.png
D .  throughtick.pngcross.png
E .  None of thesetick.pngcross.png
Answer: Option A
A preposition is a word that shows the relationship between a noun or pronoun and other words in a sentence. In this sentence, "accompanied" is the verb and "heavy rains" is the object of the verb. The preposition "with" indicates that the thunder and heavy rains occurred together.
Here are some relevant definitions and examples of prepositions:
  • With: indicates the presence of something together with something else
Example: He always carries his phone with him.
  • By: indicates the means or method by which something is done or happens
Example: The book was written by a famous author.
  • Of: indicates a relationship between two things, often possession or belonging
Example: The cover of the book was torn.
  • Through: indicates a passage from one side of something to the other
Example: She walked through the park.It's important to choose the correct preposition to ensure the sentence has the intended meaning. In this case, the thunder and heavy rains occurred together, so the most appropriate preposition is "with". The other options do not convey the same relationship between the thunder and heavy rains.
