43．考查動詞。句意：摧毀了房子擁有裏的一切。A. painted油漆；B. buried 埋葬；C. held 握住；擁有；D. designed設計。大火摧毀了房子裏的一切，“held”是動詞-ed形式作後置定語修飾前面的everything。故選C。

【點睛】
解完形填空題時，單獨看一句話是找不到正確*的，需要閲讀下句或者若干句才能明白。所謂上下對照，即在上文和下文中找到與正確*相同的關鍵詞。因此，在做題時要邊讀邊在大腦中儲存上下文信息的能力，捕捉關鍵詞。本題第13小題，由最後一段中的“She said she would take the light and colors of that sunset”可知，這裏指作者能想象到的最美的日落。故選B。
