Explanation:

- The sentence discusses the negative impact of floods caused by dams, particularly focusing on their destructive nature.

- Option 1: Devastated - This means to cause severe damage or destruction. It fits well with the context of destruction caused by floods.

- Option 2: Devoured - This means to consume something eagerly or destructively. It's more about eating or consumption rather than destruction by floods.

- Option 3: Smashed - This means to break into pieces with force. It's less about prolonged destruction and more about immediate impact.

- Option 4: Plundered - This means to steal goods using force, typically in a time of war or disorder. It doesn't fit as well in the context of natural disaster impacts.
