Question

Which meaning of morsel best defines the underlined word in the paragraph?

When our dog Rainy escaped from our yard, we searched the neighborhood and hung up flyers. Two days later someone called and said they had seen Rainy near a shopping center, so Dad and I drove over there right away and found him. We fed Rainy as soon as we got home, and he ate every last morsel. I could tell
he was happy to be home.

1. a small piece of food

2. a tasty dish

3. a person or thing that is delightful

4. to divide into small pieces

Answer 1

1. a small piece of food

Step-by-step explanation:

If a dog was lost for a while and had just come home it'd certainly be hungry. Thats exactly what the dog in this paragraph was, so, he would have eaten every single bit of food (or every morsel) in his bowl.
