ledstone was quite unrepentant about his grandfather, whose sensational demise had triggered the repeal of the late u. s.’s third, and most disastrous, attempt at prohibition.
which option is an accurate synonym for demise as it is used in the excerpt?
“the hammer of god”
crime
passing
authority
personality

Passing  

Explanation:

One of the definitions of Demise is the end or failure of something (like a business, industry or system) or the death of someone that was considered to be powerful. So, a synonym for demise is "destruction," "death" or "passing". And since the excerpt is telling how the Ledstone's grandfather, who was a notorious bootlegger that killed many people, ended up being killed in a shoot-out, the sensational "demise" refers to the sensational "passing" of Ledstone's grandfather.
