if a storm were to annihilate a building, which of the following would most likely be the result?
a. the building would have part of its roof torn off.
b. the building would have damage but would remain intact.
c. the building would be reduced to small fragments.
d. the building would be removed from its foundation.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the meaning of "annihilate" (to destroy completely). Option A describes partial damage (roof torn off), B says the building remains intact (contradicts annihilate), D is removal from foundation (not total destruction). Option C states the building is reduced to small fragments, which matches the complete destruction implied by "annihilate".

Answer:

C. The building would be reduced to small fragments.
