Let's analyze the sentence:
Sentence:
"For triathletes to remain $\qquad$ even after a large meal is unsurprising, given that their training regimens require them to burn thousands of calories each day."
Meaning:
- Triathletes burn thousands of calories daily, so it makes sense they remain hungry or eager for food even after a large meal.
- The blank describes a state they remain in after eating a lot.
Evaluate options:
- A. responsive - unrelated to hunger or satiety
- B. sated - meaning fully satisfied or full after eating; this would mean no hunger (opposite of what's expected since they burn lots of calories)
- C. voracious - meaning having a very eager appetite; fits well
- D. reticent - meaning reserved or quiet; not related
- E. alert - means attentive; unrelated here
- F. ravenous - extremely hungry; fits perfectly
Best fits:
C. voracious
F. ravenous
Both mean having a big appetite, fitting the idea that triathletes remain hungry despite large meals.
