• This question is part of the English Language subject, specifically the Vocabulary or Cloze Test/Fill in the Blanks section. It tests your ability to choose a word that fits the context of the sentence (Contextual Usage). Why "Frightened" is correct: Context: The sentence mentions "loud thunder" and "children crying." Logic: Thunder is a loud, sudden noise. Common human reactions to sudden loud noises include fear or being startled. Meaning: To "frighten" means to make someone afraid or anxious. Therefore, frightened children crying is a logical cause-and-effect relationship.
