Answer 2

Thunder and lightning may become connected in the mind because they often occur together. This is an example of (A) law of similarity

Step-by-step explanation:

"Gestalt law of similarity" states that objects or things that shares visual characteristics like shape, size, color, texture, value and orientation can be perceived as a unified group.

Thus thunder and lightning can be placed in the same group as lightning causes thunder. When passing from the clouds to that of the surface, a lightning strike pops open up a little void in the atmosphere, called a channel. After the lightning has disappeared, the atmosphere falls back in and produces a sound wave we perceive as a thunder.
