Answer: Option A. -> in tick.pngcross.png
The preposition 'in' is used to refer to the activity of doing something. It is used to describe an activity, action, or state that is ongoing or continuous.

For example:
The Indian magpie indulges in a long flight. (The magpie is actively and continuously engaging in a long flight.)
The students indulged in a long discussion. (The students were actively and continuously engaging in a long discussion.)
He indulged in a long walk. (He was actively and continuously engaging in a long walk.)

In contrast, the prepositions 'with', 'on', 'at', and 'over' are not used to describe an activity, action, or state that is ongoing or continuous.

For example:
He went on a long walk. (He went on a long walk, but he did not actively and continuously engage in it.)
She went with her friends. (She went with her friends, but she did not actively and continuously engage in any activity with them.)
He was at the party. (He was at the party, but he did not actively and continuously engage in any activity at the party.)
They watched the sky over their heads. (They watched the sky over their heads, but they did not actively and continuously engage in any activity over their heads.)

Therefore, the most appropriate preposition to use in the sentence is 'in'.

 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> with tick.pngcross.png
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.
