“Hurricane Katrina slammed into New Orleans, Louisiana, in 2005. What does slammed mean as it is used in this sentence?
A .shutting something loudly
B. throwing something down
C. make fun of something
D. crashed into something

d. crashed into something

Explanation:

in my opinion I feel they are using it as a metaphor.

D. crashed into something

Explanation:

Okay, I answered this also because I have preexisting knowledge about the word slammed. In the dictionary, slammed means "crash into; heavily collide with" but if you don't already know what it means, we can look at context clues. First, making fun of something doesn't make any sense, so we can rule that one out. throwing something down is another definition of slammed, so how do we know that one isn't the definition, well, look at the context clues, Hurricane Katrina threw something down into New Orleans, that doesn't really make sense. And Hurricane Katrina shut something loudly into New Orleans doesn't make sense either.

hope this helps:)
