Correct Answer: (2)
Solution : The correct choice is the second option.
Rumbled to should be replaced with screeched to, which means to make a very loud sound when stopping to describe the action of a truck coming to a sudden stop with a loud noise, followed by a man getting out and running.
Therefore, the correct sentence is, " The truck screeched to a halt, and a man got out and ran. "
