No substitution required

followed of

follows by

followed by

- The original sentence suggests a sequence of events, where the sound of thunder is directly followed by a heavy downpour.

- The phrase "followed to" is incorrect as it does not properly convey the relationship between the thunder and the downpour.

- Option 1: "No substitution required" - This implies that the original phrase is correct, which it is not.

- Option 2: "followed of" - This is grammatically incorrect as "of" does not correctly pair with "followed."

- Option 3: "follows by" - This is also incorrect, as "follows" does not agree with the past tense "was."

- Option 4: "followed by" - This correctly indicates that the sound of thunder was succeeded by a heavy downpour.
