While working on a sentence, I needed a stronger word that “looking”:
Did I miss something important across my desk at MI6 and become the target of a foreign group looking for revenge?
‘looking’ lacks urgency and power. Is this better?
Did I miss something important across my desk at MI6 and become the target of a foreign group seeking revenge?
‘seeking’ is better, but still lame. How about,
Did I miss something important across my desk at MI6 and become the target of a foreign group hungry for revenge?
Ah, ‘hungry’ carries a deeper desire and works better.
