Hope this helped you!

1). The correct preposition to fulfill the meaning of the sentence 'On...flooded' would be:

B). By

The correct verb phrase to fill in the sentence "That building...down' would be:

B). was severely damaged

1). 'Prepositions' are characterized as the words that display the association between words(noun, pronoun, clause, etc.).

In the given sentence, 'by' is the correct preposition to denote the association of the latter clause to the prior and give the meaning ''cause that led to an action or event."

2). In the second sentence, there are two clauses where the first sentence introduces a past event while the latter part shows its associated consequences.

Since the first part of the sentence offers a past action, it will be framed in past indefinite in the passive voice as the doer is missing.  

Thus, option B is the correct answer for both sentences.
