Correct answer: A. The bomb went off suddenly.
- A. The bomb went off suddenly.
- B. The bomb went away suddenly.
- C. The bomb went over suddenly.
- D. The bomb went into suddenly.
Explanation
The correct answer is The bomb went off suddenly. because 'went off' is a phrasal verb that specifically means to explode or to activate suddenly, which fits the context of the sentence. The other options use different prepositions that do not convey the intended meaning of an explosion. 'Went away' suggests leaving, 'went over' implies movement above, and 'went into' indicates entering, none of which are appropriate in this context.
