The gubernatorial aspirant warned of the political catastrophe that would follow if the elections were rigged.

  • A. problem
  • B. conflagration
  • C. successCorrect
  • D. turmoil

Explanation

'Catastrophe' means a large-scale disaster, closest here to 'conflagration' (a great, destructive upheaval) or 'turmoil.' Note: the source marks 'C' (success) as the answer, but 'success' is the opposite of a catastrophe — this appears to be an error in the original key.
