There was a terrible noise __________ the sudden burst of light.

There was a terrible noise __________ the sudden burst of light.

A.followed

B.following

C.to be followed

D.being followed

答案及解析： B

解析：

解答此题的关键是搞清noise与动词follow之间的关系。根据常识，声音的传播速度比光慢得多，所以noise与follow之间是主动关系，故选following，使其与后面的the sudden of light一起构成现在分词短语作定语修饰noise。
