Explanation:

The following extract from paragraph 2: “She was the Puccini heroine among blues singers, or rather among jazz singers, for though she sang a cabaret version of the blues incomparably, her natural idiom was the pop song. Her unique achievement was to have twisted this into a genuine expression of the major passions by means of a total disregard of its sugary tunes, or indeed or any tune other than her own few delicately crying elongated notes, phrased like Bessie Smith or Louis Armstrong in sackcloth, song in a thin, gritty, haunting voice whose natural mood was an unresigned and voluptuous welcome for the pains of love.  Nobody has sung, or will sing, Bess’s songs from Porgy as she did.” Therefore, option 1 is valid.
The following extract from paragraph 2: “The great blues singers, to whom she may be justly compared, played their game from strength.” Option 2 is valid.
As quoted above, her haunting voice whose natural mood was a welcome for the pains of love, indicated her voice had a ring of sorrow. Therefore, option 3 is valid.
The following extract from paragraph 2: “Suffering was her profession; but she did not accept it”. That shows that she did not welcome suffering or accept it.
Hence, the correct answer is option 4.
