The ravages [of the storm] were terrible in America, Europe, and Asia. Towns were overthrown, forests uprooted, coasts devastated by the mountains of water which were precipitated on them, vessels cast on the shore, whole districts leveled by waterspouts, several thousand people crushed on land or drowned at sea; such were the traces of its (468) ________, left by this devastating tempest.

Which word, if inserted in the blank, makes the most sense in the context of the passage?

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2
  1. Velocity - Incorrect. While 'velocity' refers to speed, it does not fit the context of the devastation left by the storm, which requires a term that conveys the intensity or fierceness of the impact.
  2. Fury - Correct. 'Fury' is the most suitable word to insert in the blank as it aptly describes the violent or wild destructiveness of the tempest, aligning with the described effects such as devastation and destruction.
  3. reward - Incorrect. 'Reward' is not relevant to the context of destruction and does not fit the description of a storm's effects.
  4. benevolence - Incorrect. 'Benevolence' means kindness or goodwill, which is completely incongruous with the context of a destructive storm.
