Which term denotes the remains of something destroyed?

• A. Tile
• B. Rubbing
• C. Wreckage
• D. Seal

Answer: (C)

The concept here is recognizing a word that means the debris and remnants left after something has been destroyed. Wreckage is the term used for the scattered pieces, debris, and damaged remains from a crash, collapse, or similar destructive event. It’s the word you’d hear in disaster reports or rescue briefs when describing what’s left behind at a site.

Tile refers to a flat piece of ceramic used for flooring or walls, which isn’t about what remains after destruction. Rubbing can mean the act of applying friction or a surface impression, not the remnants themselves. A seal is something that closes an opening or serves as a stamp of authenticity, not the leftover debris.

So wreckage best captures the idea of the remains of something destroyed.
