What is the correct one-word substitution for “the complete final destruction of the world, as described in religious texts or believed to happen in the future”?
Answer & explanation
Answer: B) Apocalypse
Meaning: Apocalypse = the complete final destruction of the world, as foretold in religious texts *(प्रलय, सर्वनाश, क़यामत)*.

#B Renaissance = a revival or rebirth, especially of art and learning in 14th–16th-century Europe *(पुनर्जागरण)* — a new beginning, not an end.
#B Utopia = an imagined perfect society *(आदर्श लोक, कल्पनालोक)* — the opposite of destruction.
#B Euphoria = a feeling of intense happiness *(अत्यधिक प्रसन्नता, उल्लास)* — a mood, not an event.
