Answer 1

She rides in a carriage.

Answer 2

The correct answer is "She rides in a carriage, like a proper lady"

Step-by-step explanation:

In the book "Daisy Miller" by Henry James, Mrs Walker is a very rich lady that is always seen either seated or cruising around on her carriage. Her name is ironic in this way, as the name Walker would fit better with someone that walks regularly. Mrs Walker is a character that oftenly gets scandalized by Daisy's behavior.
