In each question four words are highlighted, which may or may not be correctly placed. Choose the correct replacement in between the highlighted words that can give appropriate meaning to the sentence.
The thunderous (A) storm made crashing (B) sounds throughout (C) the night, frightening (D) the sleeping children out of bed
Correct Answer :
No replacement needed
Solution :
The correct option is No replacement needed.
Let us analyze the sentence and the placement of the highlighted words:
1. thunderous (A): This is an adjective describing the "storm". A "thunderous storm" makes complete grammatical and contextual sense.
2. crashing (B): This is a participle/adjective modifying the noun "sounds". "Crashing sounds" appropriately describes loud, violent noises during a storm.
3. throughout (C): This preposition indicates the duration ("throughout the night"), which is completely natural and correct.
4. frightening (D): This present participle describes the effect of the storm/sounds on the children ("frightening the sleeping children out of bed"), which is logically sound.
Since all the highlighted words are correctly positioned and provide appropriate meaning to the sentence, no interchange/replacement is required.
