Correct Answer: (2)
Solution : The second option is the correct choice.
This is because "worrying" which means "the thought of an impending bad situation" should be replaced with "bothering", thereby conveying the meaning that the speaker's mother opened the parcel without making an effort to read the address label before opening it.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: " My mother opened the parcel without bothering to read the address on it. "
