Correct Answer: 2


Solution : The correct choice is the second option.

Limited to is the correct choice because it maintains the meaning of restriction or confinement, and it is a concise and clear way to express the same idea.

The only in the original sentence is not necessary, and limited to effectively communicates that her activities are restricted to cooking and washing clothes.

Limited by would suggest that something external is restricting her activities, which is not the intended meaning in this context.

Not limited to would mean the opposite of the intended meaning, suggesting that her activities are not restricted to cooking and washing clothes, which is not in line with the original sentence.

Therefore, the correct sentence is, "Her activities are limited to cooking and washing clothes."
