OFFICIAL EXPLANATION
The correct answers are $\(C\)$ and $\(F\)$.
This is a question that hinges on word usage. "Voracious" and "rapacious" both mean "having an insatiable appetite for something," so they both match the word "appetite." Choices A and B are incorrect because even though "avaricious" and "grasping" mean "greedy," an appetite cannot be correctly described as avaricious or grasping. Choice D is incorrect because a thirst, not an appetite, is slaked (or left unslaked), and choice E is incorrect because "indomitable" is not applied to an appetite; furthermore, it doesn't fit the meaning of the sentence.
