Explanation:

To solve this, we first understand the meaning of "devastated", which is a strong feeling of sadness or disappointment. Let's analyze each option:

• Option A: A sister not understanding a chemistry explanation is a minor issue, not likely to cause devastation.
• Option B: Graduating at the top of the class is a positive event, so it won't cause devastation.
• Option C: Having no one show up to a birthday party, especially a thirteenth one which is important, would likely make someone feel devastated due to the disappointment and sadness of being let down.
• Option D: Having to finish homework before TV is a normal rule, not a devastating situation.

Answer:

C. No one shows up for Joshua's thirteenth birthday party.
