Which textual evidence from "The Necklace" best supports the inference that Mathilde is ungrateful?

Question 3 options:

"She thought of dainty dinners, of shining silverware, of tapestry that peopled the walls with ancient personages and with strange birds flying in the midst of a fairy forest."


"'I don't know exactly, but I think I could manage it with four hundred francs.'"


"'It annoys me not to have a single piece of jewelry, not a single ornament, nothing to put on. I shall look poverty-stricken. I would almost rather not go at all.'"


"She had no dowry, no expectations, no way of being known, understood, loved, married by any rich and distinguished man; and so she let herself be married to a little clerk of the Ministry of Education."
