A) The number of pages she has read during 1 week is not part of the expression

b) The total number of pages in the book is not given so it is not part of the expression

c) The number of pages in the book is not given so it is not a part of the expression

d) Based on this information Margaret reads at a rate of 35d where d represents the number of days she has been reading. 35 represents the number of pages read per day so 35 times d would give us her rate she reads for the number of days Margaret has been reading.
