MRS. HALE. I’d hate to have men coming into my kitchen, snooping around and criticizing.

Which word has a meaning similar to “snooping” as it is used in this excerpt?

looking

peering

intruding

searching

Answer:

intruding

Explanation:

From the sentence, Mrs Hale is using a negative tone as she expresses her wish that she does not want men coming into her kitchen to snoop around.

Here, the word "snooping" means interfering in something.

The word that has a similar meaning to the word "snooping" is <u>"intruding" because it means involving yourself into something without invitation.</u>

The other options are wrong because looking does not adequately convey the message Mrs Hale was trying to pass across as looking does not mean interference.

Peering is a form of secretly looking at something which does not show interference, neither does searching.

How did the soldier get the Monkey's Paw?
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

The man who owned it previously used his last wish to wish for death. Upon his death, the paw passed to Sergeant-Major Morris. As he talks to the Whites, he is reminded of the evil consequences that accompany the granting person's wishes.

Explanation:

Sergeant-Major Morris does not say exactly how he got the paw, although he says he got it from the first owner. "The first man had his three wishes. Yes," was the reply; "I don't know what the first two were, but the third was for death. That's how I got the paw."
