Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Solution: 2

Accompanied is usually ‘to go along with’. ‘From’ does not answer the question ‘what?’. Similarly, through is not correct. Also, ‘with’ is used for ‘to put in company with’. Eg: He associated his speech with gestures. ‘Up’ is irrelevant. So the best option is ‘by’ which means ‘to exist with’. In this context, the thunder existed with the rain.
