vocabulary question.?

Question

Look at this sentence:
"birds and bees feast upon bathe and swim in this river."
here,what does "feast" means?

Answer 1

If the sentence structure is
"birds and bees feast upon, bathe and swim in this river" feast upon means get their nurishment from or take enjoyment from the river. Such as pelicans scoop fish out of the river or lake etc. and then take the fish to land where they then eat the fish. Most birds do this such as seagulls etc. Also bees use water to dilute the nectar that they gather before giving the nectar to the larvae.
Hopefully that is what feast means in this sentence.
Good Luck

Answer 2

The sentence lacks proper punctuation. I would punctuate it with a ',' after feast upon, and bathe, then the meaning would be:

The birds and bees do many things in this river, including 'feasting upon it'...so they get their food there. Meaning the river serves many purposes to the birds and bees, including eating, bathing and swimming.

Answer 3

There seems to be something missing in that sentence... not the least of which are commas to clarify whats going on. It seems to be saying that the birds and bees feast on the river, but it's not worded well at all.

Answer 4

Feast, to derive pleasure from the river, it doesn't necessarily indicate an oral activity like eating, it can allude to a feast of the eyes or so.

Answer 5

The grammar doesn't seem to be correct, but to feast upon something means to eat.

Answer 6

It means the same as usual....eat. It means they eat, swim and bathe in the river.

Answer 7

I would say it still means "to enjoy, or be delighted by". They sure do love their rivers!

Answer 8

it either means to 'look ' or to 'eat'
