Question

a flock of seagulls invaded the beach picnic, swooping down and stealing peoples sandwiches right out of their hands.
which phrase means about the same thing as invaded?
mixed up
began in
took over
passed through

Explanation:

The word "invaded" implies a forceful entry or takeover. "Took over" has a similar connotation of entering a place and assuming control or dominance, which fits the context of seagulls entering the picnic forcefully. "Mixed up" means confused, "began in" refers to the start, and "passed through" just means going from one side to the other without the sense of forceful entry.

Answer:

C. took over
