The correct answer is:
**B. devastated**
### Explanation:
The verb **"devastated"** (meaning *to cause severe destruction or damage*) is the most appropriate choice to describe the impact of a major earthquake on a city.
### Why the other options are less suitable:
- **A. confused** → Earthquakes don’t "confuse" cities (illogical).
- **C. demarcated** → Means "to mark boundaries," irrelevant here.
- **D. troubled** → Too mild for the catastrophic effects of an earthquake.
- **E. demolished** → Implies *complete* destruction (possible, but "devastated" is more commonly used for partial/severe damage).
### Correct Sentence:
*"The earthquake that struck Mexico **devastated** the city."*
**Note:** If the earthquake *completely* leveled the city, "demolished" could also fit, but "devastated" is the more natural and widely applicable term.
