Which adjective describes having a huge appetite; eager for knowledge or food?

• A. Famished
• B. Voracious
• C. Satiated
• D. Gluttonous

Answer: (B)

Having a huge appetite and eagerness is described as voracious. This word captures a powerful, insatiable desire, whether for food or for learning. You can say someone has a voracious appetite for meals or a voracious appetite for knowledge, and it also fits phrases like a voracious reader.

Famished focuses on being extremely hungry in the moment, a physical state rather than a trait or sustained eagerness. Satiated means full or satisfied, the opposite of having a big appetite. Gluttonous describes excessive eating as a habit, often with a moral/behavioral connotation, but it doesn’t convey the broader sense of eagerness for knowledge or information.
