Answer 2

Answer :

One word substitution tests our ability to express the meaning of a phrase or a clause in a single word. These tests are helpful in determining the vocabulary and communication skills of an individual.

Cambridge English Dictionary defines 'destruction' as 'the action of destroying something, or the state of being destroyed:'

So, the one word substitution for 'ruining or destroying something deliberately' is 'destruction.'
