The summer flew by and suddenly it was the first day of a new school year. And what a beautiful day it was! After a week of solid rain, today dawned sunny, breezy, and warm. Half my class was loitering in the school yard, perfectly content to stay outside until the very last minute. I slowed my previously eager step, realizing I wanted to remain outside in the sunshine, too. Which word has the most similar connotation to "loitering" as it is used in the passage? O 1. lingering
2. lurking
3. standing
04. waiting​
