Discussion
'a herd of elephants had already devoured the water fermented with the intoxicating flowers'. In this sentence the words 'devoured' and 'intoxicating', respectively, mean:
Answer: B
In the sentence, the elephants had already devoured the water fermented with the intoxicating flowers. To devour is to eat or drink greedily, so consumed is the right meaning, and intoxicating means causing a drunken state, which is close to stimulating in the options. So the words mean consumed and stimulating, option (B). Wasted and rousing, enjoyed and sobering and eaten and boring change the sense or give the opposite meaning.
