Answer:

Upper Right.

Step-by-step explanation:

No wonder you are having trouble! None of the responses show anything emotional. You have two choices. The other two don't matter. Let's start with the don't matters.

Getting up at a certain time conveys nothing, especially since the attack took place on a Sunday and it's no surprise she slept in.

Packing a suitcase has the potential to be the detail you are looking for, but the sentence conveys nothing that is in anyway an emotional response. It has the emotional power of saying that we packed a picnic basket to go to the state park nearby.

So let's deal with the possible answers.

You could choose the second one I've eliminated above. You could also pick the fact that when she joined the rest of the family, they were all looking out the window at Pearl Harbor. You can only guess what they might be thinking. Disbelief? Horror? We don't know. We're not told.

The answer I think you should pick is the one that says she imagined bullets coming through the roof. At least it's personal and she is imagining the worst case scenario. It's the only one where she connects herself with what is going on.
