Answer:

The answer is the first option: Mrs. Mallard will live a long life.

Explanation:

In Kate Chopin's "The Story of an Hour", the main character Mrs. Mallard has a heart condition that may kill her in case she gets shocked or surprised by something. Her sister and a friend are, for that reason, very careful when letting her know that, according to a couple of sources, Mr. Mallard has died.

After crying for some time, Mrs. Mallard feels surprisingly free. She can picture how sad it will be to bury her late husband, who loved her so much. But she can't help the feeling of freedom in the many years to come. That's what this excerpt we are analyzing here is about: Mrs. Mallard thinking of the long future still to come.
