Answer 2

选3
她怎么了？(可能是她当时很激动 )
一个演讲者刚从家乡回来 引发了 她的思乡情绪。
set off引发

Answer 3

--What is wrong with her?
--A lecture from her home ( ) her feeling of homesickness.
1. put off
2. took off
3. set off
4. ran off
比较：
put off=推迟
take off=脱下（衣服）；（飞机）起飞
set off=出发，启程；激起，引起
run off=跑掉

根据句意，答案为 set off。句意为：
A：她怎么了？
B：一个来自家乡的演讲让她想家了。

疑：题中的 lecture 是否为 letter 之笔误，这样意思更合理些。
