rick was ______ on the stoop, despite the pressing chores that needed to be done inside.
loafing mingling socializing

Explanation:

To show Rick was hanging around lazily, we need a word with the meaning of being idle. "Loafing" means spending time in an idle or lazy way. "Mingling" means mixing or interacting with others, and "socializing" means interacting socially. So "loafing" fits the context of being lazy.

Answer:

A. loafing
