Answer:
A, It emphasizes that Piggy is still hungry.
Explanation:
"There was still food left" This implies that they have already eaten. He was betrayed by his stomach cause it wanted more food. This can be confirmed since he 'threw a picked bone' and 'stooped for more' meaning he was getting more food.
Piggy is not becoming ill since it has nothing to do with the excerpt provided. So that cancels out b.
Piggy being an outsider also has nothing to do with this and no other people are mentioned, so cross out c.
Piggy is probably thrilled to eat. But "There was still food left" implies that they have already eaten, so he would probably be more likely to be thrilled before and not after eating. And he "stooped for more" which means he went to get more food. It's more likely to be that he is still hungry despite already eating.
So then the answer is A! It emphasizes that Piggy is still hungry.
