Correct Answer: down
Solution : The fourth option is the correct answer. In this context, "down" is used to indicate that the elephant ran forcefully through the streets, causing destruction along the way. It conveys the idea that the elephant moved in a downward direction along the streets.
"Off": "Tore off" typically means to remove something quickly or forcefully.
"Out": While "tore out" is a valid phrase that can be used to describe destruction, it doesn't work as well in this context because it doesn't specifically convey the idea of the elephant's movement through the streets
"On" is used to indicate being physically supported by something or being in a specific location,
So the complete sentence would be: "The elephant stampeded and tore down the streets."
