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.

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>

Answer:

A dialogue is a written composition between two or more persons. The roots of the word dialogue come from the Greek words dia and logos. Dia means 'through'; logos translates to 'word' or 'meaning'. To take it one step further, dialogue is a conversation in which people think together in a relationship. Thinking together implies that you no longer take your own position as final.

erica [24]

This sentence shows how Hitchcock's stories grow and flourish over time, being his purpose for writing, creating stories that are not outdated, as the exciting thing is to see their unfolding and not a possible surprise.
