From the context of the sentence, we can conclude that read means "accepting as true without additional information" because they've already assumed that she won't come.
Understanding words in print is incorrect. One of the meanings of read is "understanding words in print." (e.g. The man read some interesting books.) However, from the context of the target sentence, we can conclude that the word is not used that way here.
Showing a particular number or amount is incorrect. One of the meanings of read is "showing a particular number or amount." (e.g. The scale read twenty pounds.) However, from the context of the target sentence, we can conclude that the word is not used that way here.
Receiving information from someone else is incorrect. When placed in the context of the target sentence, this answer choice does not make sense.
