To determine which answer choice fits in the blank, we need to consider the verb tense and subject agreement.
In the first sentence, "la tormenta" is the subject and "empezo" is the verb. Since "la tormenta" is singular, we can eliminate answer choices b. fueron and d. eran, as they are plural forms.
Now let's analyze the second sentence, "_____ at 10 when it started to rain." The verb "it started" should agree in number with "la tormenta," which is singular.
Answer choice a. "son" is not the correct form because it is the present tense form of the verb "to be," and we need the past tense form.
Answer choice c. "fue" is the correct form because it is the third-person singular form of the past tense verb "empezar."
Therefore, the correct answer is c. fue.
