Which excerpt from "The Story of an Hour" best indicates that Mrs. Mallard may not be grieving about her husband's sudden death?

She did not hear the story as many women have heard the same, with a paralyzed inability to accept its significance.

When the storm of grief had spent itself she went away to her room alone. She would have no one follow her.

Into this she sank, pressed down by a physical exhaustion that haunted her body and seemed to reach into her soul.

She sat with her head thrown back upon the cushion of the chair, quite motionless, except when a sob came up into her throat and shook her.
