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>
<span>Grendel can be considered to be a modern-day monster primarily because there are so many human characteristics in him, and in the old days that wasn't the way in which monsters were portrayed. Here we can see that Grendel feels hatred towards the soldiers, that he is also afraid when he sees Beowulf, he isn't just a mindless monster lusting for blood, there is a reason behind him doing all the killings.
After reading this you would have got your answer :)
