Answer 1

d.She is waiting anxiously for him to arrive.

Step-by-step explanation:

In Lamb to Slaughter, Mary Malone is the perfect example of a fantastic wife because she anticipates her husband Patrick's every need and desire and goes ahead to perform it before he requests for it.

Before Patrick got home, Mary was waiting anxiously for him to arrive as she had already prepared dinner and set the lightings, drawn the curtains, and set the chairs.
