WHICH WORD?
Devastate is stronger than destroy, but is only used about places or buildings. When used about people, it has a different meaning * devastate 比 destroy 语气更强烈，但仅用于指场所或建筑物。devastate 用于指人时，含义不同I was devastated (= very upset) to hear I'd failed my exams. 得知考试不及格，我很难过。
If people exterminate animals or people, they deliberately kill all of them. With the other expressions the cause can be natural, although annihilate is usually used to talk about the effects of war. * exterminate 指人对动物或他人蓄意斩尽杀绝。其他动词可指出于自然原因，但 annihilate 通常用于指战争的后果。
