I think the answer should be exodus , because exodus means to leave or get out.
<span>The right answer is intruding. The way in which the word snoop is used in this sentence implies a negative attitude, particularly as it is immediately followed by the word 'criticizing'. Therefore, the similarly negative word intruding has a similar meaning here.</span>
Your asnwer is A :) :) :) :)
I think that the phrase "sporting proposition" means a game of chance.
It was used in this dialogue:
"Simply this: hunting had ceased to be what you call `a sporting proposition.' It had become too easy. I always got my quarry. Always. There is no greater bore than perfection." (1.96)
When you say "sport" is infers a chance of winning and losing. There is no sure outcome.
In the above lines, hunting has become a sure deal and it does not invigorate nor inspire the hunters to do better.
