The answer is "damage": People who live in hurricane-prone areas are advised to keep trees trimmed because branches that are broken during a hurricane can damage buildings.

Explanation:

  • "Damage" is the correct word in this context because it refers to causing harm or injury to something, which is appropriate for describing what broken branches can do to buildings during a hurricane. Damage can range from minor to severe, but it does not imply complete destruction.
  • "Demolish" means to completely destroy or tear down a structure. While broken branches can cause significant harm, they are unlikely to completely demolish a building. Therefore, "demolish" is too strong a word for this context.
