Based on the information provided, the answer would be (A) Elisa feels bored with ranch life and wants more adventure in her life. The description of the ranch as a place where "there was little work to be done" suggests that Elisa may feel unfulfilled or restless with her life on the ranch. If there is little work to be done, it could mean that Elisa has a lot of free time and may be seeking more excitement or adventure. This is supported by her interest in the tinker's lifestyle and her desire to have a conversation with him about his travels.
