Read the excerpt from part one of Trifles.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?

Here, “snooping around” means poking into someone’s private space or business without being welcome. “Intruding” has that same sense, so the best choice is C. “Looking” and “searching” describe actions but don’t necessarily suggest invading someone’s privacy.
