Question

We have four here to board, great good-for-nothings,
Sprawling about the kitchen with their talk
While I fry their bacon. Much they care!
No more put out in what they do or say
Than if I wasn't in the room at all.

What does the word sprawling suggest?

The kitchen is spacious and comfortable.

The men act with inappropriate ease in the home
.
The men feel awkward and uncomfortable around the narrator.

Answer 1

The kitchen is spacious and comfortable.

Answer 2

Answer:

The men act with inappropriate ease in the home

Explanation:

“To sprawl about” is to lie or sit in a lazy way or in a spread-out position around a place. The narrator uses the idiom to refer to the men, and not to the kitchen. He or she is complaining, and is not happy with the men's attitude: they are being lazy, acting with inappropriate ease in the home, and with carelessness while the narrator is doing all the work.
