Through my binoculars, I viewed a group of wild animals in action. A pride of lions was sleeping when a small, yellow bus pulled

up beside them. Tourists on a safari were packed into the bus like sardines in a can. Armed with cameras, they invaded the lions' territory, hoping to capture the perfect photograph. The crowd leaned out the windows, hooting and hollering, until the lions awoke. When the lions moved away, the bus rolled after them, relentlessly stalking the pride. One of the lions turned and roared to protect the young. This was greeted with cheers and a celebratory honk of the bus horn. The curious visitors observed the lions' routine for an hour before moving on. Leaving a cloud of dust, the bus headed away, taking the wild animals off to disturb someone else's home.
Review the following line from the text:

The nosy visitors observed the lions' routine for nearly an hour before moving on.

To create a more positive connotation, the author could have replaced the word nosy with which of the following synonyms?

Curious
Intrusive
Meddlesome
Prying

Answer:

Curious.

Explanation:

All of the options available are synonyms of the term <em>"nosy"</em>. However, the term <em>"curious"</em> describes the group of visitors' own nature without negative connotations, whereas the rest of the options have an accusatory tone to them and suggest the tourists behave in an inappropriate manner.

<span>Media keeps us informed on almost about anything. Its good side is that it helps us solicit ideas on how to improve the beliefs on things. Its bad side is that when we do not understand the information thoroughly and we feel introjected following it or we follow it with our biases and prejudices.</span>
