I believe the answer is:

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">I believe this is a double definition.<br/ ><br/ >'<span class="explanation-format__original">ruin</span>' is the first definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I know that wreck is a more specific form of ruin)</span><br/ ><br/ >'<span class="explanation-format__original">destroy</span>' is the second definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I know that wreck is a more specific form of destroy)</span><br/ ><br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for wreck that I've seen before include "Demolish; sunken ship" , "A destroyed ship" , "Destroy, ruin" , "Smash" , "Devastate" .)
