there was a terrible noise( ) the sudden burst of light----a

B项是先开灯,大家再喊,there was the sudden burst of light followed by a terrible noise.；而A项如果是在there was a terrible noise following the sudden burst of light,是对的.当然先看到灯亮不是因为速度原因,而是人们习惯于先开灯再喊（至少不会吓到寿星）.
再问： 只不过举个具体情境，人们习惯于先开灯再喊，这个想的太多了，现在是做题目，麻烦从语法或是什么上讲行吗
