The correct answer would be option C: "intruding", this is due to the fact that snooping is like prying into someone's life without invitation, and intruding is looking intensely at something without someone's explicit invitation with the purpose of criticizing, not just simple curiosity which would be looking or with a non harmful purpose which would be searching.

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.

Read the excerpt from “A Visit from the Goon Squad.” Scotty climbed onto the platform and sat on the stool. Without a glance at
BlackZzzverrR [31]
To answer this question, we first have to clarify some terms.

A frame story occurs when a story is told within a story. For example, in the movie "The Princess Bride," the story is told by a grandfather telling a story to his grandson. The story he tells is about the Princess Bride. The above excerpt does not have a frame structure. As a result, option B. can be eliminated.

A flashback occurs when a segment of the story goes back in time. For example, if the narrator is in the middle of a scene and then thinks about a time from his childhood, that is a flashback. However, in this excerpt from the novel, all of the action is occurring in the present. As a result, option D. can be eliminated.

That leaves options A. and C. It is clear the narration is occurring in chronological order. However, is that the best answer? To decide, look closely at what is happening in the scene. 

The narrator is doing two things here. First, the narrator describes Scotty's actions. Second, the narrator is commenting on them. For example: He begins to play a song, but then the narrator switches to commentary and describes the song's "gushy metallic complexity." Scotty plays two more songs, and the narrator comments "their amplification was fine." This format continues throughout the selection.

Therefore, the best answer to this question is option A: Multiple switches are used between the action and commentary.

What kinds of things can an author describe to provide direct characterization? Select all that apply.
sleet_krkn [62]

Hello. You have not shown the answer options, which makes it impossible for this question to be answered accurately. However, I will try to help you in the best possible way.

In direct characterization the author can make physical descriptions of the character, show personality traits, passions and the activities that this character does. This is because in direct characterization, the narrator mentions the characteristics of a character in a completely direct way.
