Read the sentence from The War of the Worlds.

I turned, and as I did so the screw must have come out, for the lid of the cylinder fell upon the gravel with a ringing concussion.

Which option is the accurate synonym of the word concussion as it is used in the sentence?


explosion
disruption
crash
interruption

I would say crash because concussion is used as an adjective to describe the ringing that the lid of the cylinder made
