A person who is ravenous is:

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: "hungry." The term 'ravenous' specifically refers to being extremely hungry or famished. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the meaning of 'ravenous.' Being generous, outspoken, or friendly does not directly relate to the intense hunger implied by the word 'ravenous.'

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'ingest.' The word 'ingest' means to take into the body, typically referring to food or drink. Choice A, 'congest,' means to block or fill up with fluid. Choice C, 'collect,' means to bring or gather together. Choice D, 'suppress,' means to prevent something from happening or to restrain.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: 'forbid.' 'Proscribe' means to officially forbid or prohibit something. Choice A, 'anticipate,' is incorrect as it means to expect or predict something. Choice B, 'prevent,' is incorrect as it means to stop something from happening. Choice C, 'defeat,' is incorrect as it means to overcome or win against someone or something, which is not the meaning of 'proscribe.' Therefore, the most appropriate meaning for 'proscribe' among the given choices is to forbid.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: 'swollen.' In the context provided, 'distended' refers to the victim's belly being enlarged or bloated due to abdominal pain. This matches the description of the victim moaning and rubbing his belly, indicating discomfort from swelling. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect. 'Concave' means having an inward curve, opposite to the intended meaning. 'Sore' means experiencing pain or discomfort, which is not directly related to the physical enlargement described in the sentence. 'Empty' means containing nothing, which contrasts with the idea of the belly being visibly enlarged or bloated.
