Correct Answer: grabbing


Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option .

Among the options provided, grabbing best fits the sentence as it describes the action of taking the purse firmly and quickly.

The meanings of the other words are:

  • Snapping is the act of making a sudden, sharp sound or movement.

  • Slaying : This term refers to killing something or someone, or, in slang terms, doing something exceptionally well or impressively.

  • Pinching is the act of grasping something between the thumb and another finger.

Thus, the completed sentence would be: "She rubbed her hands over her arms, and then, grabbing her purse, headed inside the convenience store."
