Explanation:

- "Happy" should typically have a positive context. However, given that the girl's mother has died, this is inconsistent with "happy." It looks contextually incorrect.

- "Married" refers to her father taking a new wife. This is correctly used in the sentence.

- "Widow" describes the father's new wife. This accurately depicts her status as having lost a previous husband.

- "Like" indicates the stepmother's feelings toward the girl. This is correctly used to convey dislike.

- Since "happy" doesn’t fit the context, it seems incorrect.

Answer: Option 1: happy
