Answer 1

Answer: (B)

and

Here, there are two statements: 'the lightning flashed' and 'the thunder crashed'. The second statement adds to the first without expressing contrast, inference or choice. In such cases, we use additive or cumulative conjunctions such as and, also, too, etc. Hence, the correct option is B) And.
