Hello. You forgot the answer options. The options are:

Answer:
She sniffled and used a handkerchief to wipe away her tears.
Explanation:
The text shows that Mrs. Blakely was upset when she went to Holmes' house and we can see that when the narration presents the evidence that she is crying and wiping tears before meeting the detective. Tears are signs of sadness and are usually associated with distressing situations that make people upset.
