Discussion
That evening the storm rolled in and there was plenty of thunder and __________ .
Answer: A
The correct word is Lightning: plenty of thunder and lightning.
Lightning is the flash of electricity in the sky during a storm, the natural partner of thunder in the fixed phrase thunder and lightning.
Lightening is the present participle of lighten, meaning making lighter in weight or colour, so it is a common misspelling here. Roaring and thundering describe sound, and thunder has already supplied the sound in the sentence.
