B. he
The word 'he' is being modified by the participial phrase.

The word 'laughing' is the participle.

A PARTICIPLE is a verbal that is used as an adjective and most often ends in -ing or -ed. They express an action or a state of being. However, since they function as adjectives, participles modify nouns or pronouns.

A PARTICIPIAL PHRASE is a group of words consisting of a participle and the modifier(s) and/or (pro)noun(s) or noun phrase(s) that function as the direct object(s), indirect object(s), or complement(s) of the action or state expressed in the participle.

Which of the words below would be a good replacement for the bold word to match the tone of the sentence?

Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

(C) BRIGHTNESS would be a good replacement for the bold word LIGHT to match the tone of the given sentence "Our eyes were seared by the sudden LIGHT when the fire reached the stash of gunpowder".

Explanation:

The sentence means that the person’s eyes suddenly started burning because of the light that was caused because of the fire in the gunpowder. So, the most apt option as replacement for “LIGHT” is “Brightness”. This is because the sentence refers to the radiating light which had caused the attention of person’s eye.

Option A, explosion, is incorrect because explosion refers more to sound and not the light. Option B, spark means small glow of light. Option D, Flame means the visible part of fire. So, options B and D are also incorrect as per the meaning of the sentence.
