Answer:

rapid eating

Explanation:

The word devour means consuming and absorbing something rapidly, usually without leaving no trace. It can be used for demolishing and destroying, for a force wiping something out.

Here it is used with its second meaning which is<em> </em><u>rapid eating</u>. <u><em>Devouring </em></u>something also means <u>eating it hungrily or quickly, feeding wholeheartedly on it</u>. In this passage, it is meant tha<u>t someone was so hungry that they ate every single piece of food that could be found in the fridge. </u>

Wild animals as viewed from a mountain camp-Camille Grant, October 2011
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

<em>The </em><em>nosy</em><em> visitors observed the lions' routine for nearly an hour before moving on.</em>

Explanation:

In this passage, we have a description of an average safari with a lot of tourists trying to capture the perfect photo, no matter what it takes. It is obvious that the lions are not a fan of it, as the people keep mingling around them, staring, making noise, etc, so it is almost like in a zoo. So, the author used the neutral word <em>curious</em>, while <em>nosy</em>, meaning <em>being too much into others` business</em>, is more suitable, but only if we want, like it is said, to create a more negative connotation.
