[mrs. pontellier] was somewhat familiar with such scenes. they had often made her very unhappy. on a few previous occasions she had been completely deprived of any desire to finish her dinner. sometimes she had gone into the kitchen to administer a tardy rebuke to the cook. once she went to her room and studied the cookbook during an entire evening, finally writing out a menu for the week, which left her harassed with a feeling that, after all, she had accomplished no good that was worth the name. which prediction is most likely based on the themes that have emerged so far in the awakening?
(1)-mrs. pontellier will make a more focused effort to fit into the domestic roles assigned to her by society.
(2)-mrs. pontellier will ask mrs. ratignolle to her learn how to better plan proper menus for her family.
(3)-mrs. pontellier will make fewer and fewer attempts to fit into the domestic roles assigned to her by society.
(4)-mrs. pontellier will fire the cook and spend the upcoming week interviewing other candidates for the job.

(3)- Mrs. Pontellier will make fewer and fewer attempts to fit into the domestic roles assigned to her by society.

Explanation:

Kate Chopin's "The Awakening" is about the story of the protagonist Mrs. Edna Pontellier and her eventual distancing or retrieval of her character in a society dictated by men, consumed with societal norms especially for women like her.

The excerpt given in the question is from chapter XVII where the scene shows the Pontelliers having their meal. Edna had gone out during the day, without any prior information to her husband which made Mr. Pontellier somewhat angry. He was a stickler for these 'societal norms', a wife going out without permission, not dressing properly for dinner, not attending to the caller etc. She had been 'like clockwork' doing her husband's bidding for the past 6 years and now had found the monotonous nature boring. This scene especially predicts the eventual decrease in Mrs. Pontellier's attempts to fit into the role of a 'housewife' assigned by the society.
