a. widower
b. widow
c. celibate

ANSWER: widow
 
The correct term for a person whose husband is dead is widow. This makes it the right choice for sentence 1. Sentence 2 is also about a male figure dying and the only options that are for female are widow and celibate. But widow is the correct term among the two choices. The right answer is (b).
