A signal statement tells people that something important is coming so the listener or reader needs to pay close attention. The statement "keep in mind" signals to the reader that what comes next could be an important factor.

The correct answer is option one.
Mrs Pontellier and Madame Ratignolle are friends who have opposite characteristics and represent different female roles. The first does not have a special bond with her children - she makes them carry her paints and things into the house.
