Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank with the correct collocation. The jeep crashed and ______ flames.
Answer: B
The idiom is 'burst into flames'. 'Burst in' means to enter suddenly and does not take 'flames'. 'Burst onto' is used for appearing suddenly, as on a scene. 'Bursts out' has a third person singular verb that does not agree with 'The jeep crashed and', which is in the past tense. Only 'burst into' completes the sentence correctly. The same phrase appears in 'the car burst into flames', which is the common use of the idiom after a crash.
