Q:

Sound following a flash of lightning is called

A) Stoning B) Bolting
C) Thunder D) Cloud clash
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Thunder

Explanation:

The Sound Following the flash of lighting is because of Thunder.

 

Lightning is seen earlier than thunder because light travels much faster than sound.

 

The roar of thunder is the result of a shock wave produced when lightning super-heats the air through which it passes, causing that air to expand very rapidly. This rapid expansion of air creates a shock wave that travels outward at close to the speed of sound.

Q:

Improve the given sentence if necessary.

I regret for using objectionable words against a man so mighty.

A) repent for B) sorry for
C) regret D) No improvement
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) regret

Explanation:

‘Regret for’ needs to be replaced with ‘regret’ to make the sentence grammatically correct. This is because ‘regret’ is not followed by a preposition. Thus, the correct formation would be, ‘I regret using objectionable words against a man so mighty’.
