Answer 1

Based on the context clues, "famished" means **extremely hungry**. The sentence implies the dog looked at the cake as if it were extremely desirable, despite its burnt appearance. This suggests a strong desire for food, hence "famished."Based on the context clues, "palatable" means **acceptable or agreeable to the taste; edible**. The sentence states the dog didn't mind the scorched cake and found it "perfectly palatable." This implies the dog found the cake acceptable to eat, despite its flaws.
