Explanation:

To determine the county attorney's view of Mrs. Wright, we analyze his statement: "I shouldn’t say she had the homemaking instinct." A "homemaking instinct" relates to being a good housekeeper. The first option is about her feelings toward Mr. Wright (the attorney asks about that later, but his comment is on homemaking), and the third is about working hard (not mentioned). So his comment implies she was a poor housekeeper.

Answer:

He thinks that she was a poor housekeeper.
