Option 1 -> The passage shows no indication of worry; Mrs. Sommers is described as thoughtful and deliberate, not anxious about losing the money.
Option 2 -> The text states "it was during the still hours of the night that she seemed to see her way clearly toward a proper and judicious use of the money," showing she was planning wise expenditures.
Option 3 -> She was planning to BUY clothes (percale for shirt waists, gowns, stockings), not sewing them herself at night.
Option 4 -> While she did become "restless and wakeful with anticipation," this excitement was a result of her planning, not the primary reason.
Hence, Option 2 -> The passage explicitly describes how Mrs. Sommers used the nighttime hours to think through her spending plan carefully, determining how to allocate the money across shoes, fabric, gowns, stockings, and hats for her children in a "proper and judicious" manner -> correct
