Answer is Right!
Answer is Wrong!
The correct answer is: B. killed
The other options are:
- A. massacred: to kill a large number of people, especially in a cruel or violent way.
- C. exterminated: to destroy completely.
- D. slaughtered: to kill a large number of animals, especially in a cruel or violent way.
