which most effectively analyzes the author's intended meaning of the words "astonished" and "startled" from this sentence in paragraph 3?

the answer is b. my dude

voracity is the noun corresponding to the adjective voracious, which means (1) eager to consume a great amount of food, or (2) marked by an insatiable appetite. veracity is far more common than the rare voracity, so the latter is sometimes used in place of the former.

well there are a bunch of different possibilities so your gonna have to be a bit more specific

i would believe it would be b., the author wants to draw the reader deeper into the experience
