Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
We’re looking for a first word match that would align with the crime of destruction or vandalism. Choices A, B, and C "trouble," "gang membership," and "extirpation" all qualify. The second blank should relate to the destruction of a certain type of munitions. Again, Choices B and C "built up" and "stockpiled" are possible. Now we’re down to making a choice between two possible choices. Since "extirpation" means destruction and is more specific to the crime of vandalism thansimply belonging to a gang, Choice C is correct.
