Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Why this choice is correct: "Rush at" means to charge toward or attack someone, so it correctly describes the bull's aggressive movement toward the children.
Why "in the street" is used:
"In the street" indicates that the children are located within the roadway area. While "on the street" can sometimes be used, "playing in the street" is the more natural phrasing here to show their location.
Correct sentence: An angry bull rushed at the children playing in the street.
