Is it a type of well or a type of wish? An example please?

3) Would you please give me sentences with the collocations :
a- burning desire
b- blazing row
c- heavy smoker
d- devoted friend
e- golden opportunity

(this is NOT a homework - Can I say “a” homework ?)

Thanks a million.

' 2) 'A wishing-well' is a type of well that will grant your wish if you toss a coin into it while wishing. They are, unfortunately, mythological. Sometimes you will see ersatz wishing wells in shopping malls, at fairs and festivals, amusement parks, etc.
