Intruding
The overall tone of Mrs. Hale's dialogue is negative. She does not want the men in her kitchen. This is one way which intruding is the answer because she sees the men as intruders. There is nothing to indicate the men are searching for something. Peering has the negative connotation; however, peering usually indicates the person is not directly looking at something or rather trying to secretly look. Substituting the word "looking" is not enough. It doesn't contain the negative connotation that the rest of Mrs. Hale's dialogue indicates.
Just answered this question above
^^
Answer: It explains why Bob does not recognize his friend Jimmy when he talks to the policeman.
In the story, Bob walks along with the man who claims to be Jimmy for a while, and they even start to share experiences, before he realizes that man is not actually Jimmy. Bob only notices it when they step into an area that has better light and that allows him to examine the stranger's face more carefully.
The weather also has a secondary purpose, which is that of setting a sad, bleak tone to the story, foreshadowing a tragic ending.
One: Romeo had just gotten married, why would he fight his cousin?
Two: Mercutio is his best friend, and the horrible twist of fate is that he swung towards Tybalt, but it went through the hole of his arm.
