Answer: d im pretty sure!
Answer:
a real snoop
( if it isn't this, then the answer is "a questioning character" )
Explanation:
Since negative connotations are basically words that give people a bad feeling when they hear it, we can apply this knowledge to these choices.
A questioning character: This could mean someone who seems suspicious or someone who just comes off as weird to people.
An inquisitive character: the word "inquisitive" is basically another word for "curious."
A real snoop: "snoop" is someone, or when someone, is prying and going through your stuff. Usually, when someone is said to be a "snoop," it's usually in an invasive sense.
A curious student: This doesn't signify that this person is doing anything wrong or negative.
Again, based on your text the best choice that suits it will be to inform.
Why?
The author is trying to inform you in different spots in this passage, as said "Shumaker would like to know if orangutans can learn language."
Or "Think Tank researchers are studying creatures as various as hermit crabs, leafcutter ants, and macaques."
This information is used to inform in person reading.
Hope this helped! :D
