Which line from the short story “The Open Window” best shows that Framton Nuttel is a restless person?

“Framton wondered whether Mrs. Sappleton, the lady to whom he was presenting one of the letters of introduction, came into the nice division.”

  1. “‘Hardly a soul,’ said Framton. ‘My sister was staying here, at the rectory, you know, some four years ago, and she gave me letters of introduction to some of the people here.’”

“‘The doctors agree in ordering me complete rest, an absence of mental excitement, and avoidance of anything in the nature of violent physical exercise,’ announced Framton.”

  1. “Framton shivered slightly and turned towards the niece with a look intended to convey sympathetic comprehension.”

MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

Which detail from “The Open Window” best supports the idea that Mrs. Sappleton would rather be doing something other than entertaining Mr. Nuttel?

“‘My aunt will be down presently, Mr. Nuttel,’ said a very self-possessed young lady of fifteen; ‘in the meantime you must try and put up with me.’”

“‘I hope you don’t mind the open window,’ said Mrs. Sappleton briskly; ‘my husband and brothers will be home directly from shooting, and they always come in this way.’”

“It was a relief to Framton when the aunt bustled into the room with a whirl of apologies for being late in making her appearance. ‘I hope Vera has been amusing you?’ she said.”

“‘No?’ said Mrs. Sappleton, in a voice which only replaced a yawn at the last moment. Then she suddenly brightened into alert attention—but not to what Framton was saying.”
