Resolução comentada
Particípio -ed para sentimento; -ing para o que causa o sentimento.
Billy sente o medo, então se usa 'frightened'. A tempestade causa o medo, então se usa 'frightening' (o gabarito oficial traz 'scaring'). O gabarito é B: 'frightened – scaring'.
Análise das alternativas
A) 'scared' descreve sentimento, mas a tempestade não sente. C) inverte os adjetivos, pois 'frightening' não cabe em Billy e 'scared' não cabe na tempestade. D) 'frightening' para Billy é incorreto, pois ele sente o medo.
Referência: Adjetivos terminados em -ed e -ing.
