Read the passage below and answer the questions that follow:

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 levelled by waterspouts, several thousand people crushed on land or drowned at sea; such were the traces of its (468) , left by this devastating tempest.

Question 120

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

Solution

The entire passage outlines the extent of the destruction caused by the storm. Words like "reward" and "benevolence" clearly do not convey this idea, and therefore, they cannot appropriately fill the blank that describes the storm's fury. This eliminates options C and D. Between options A and B, "velocity" serves as a numerical measure of the storm. However, our focus is on the damage it inflicted. "Fury," which represents "anger," is the most suitable term that fits the blank in this context. Thus, the correct answer choice is option B.
