In the short story The Necklace, the only one of those choices that falls into the exposition is the last one: she finds out she has an invitation to the ball. The exposition is where the characters are introduced and the problem is established. In this story, the problem, in Mathilde's mind, is that she is going to be embarrassed at the ball because she feels she and her husband are poor. But are they? They have a nice home with ornate items, food, clothing and even a maid. The story is told from her point of view, which is why on first read they seem poor when, in actuality, they are doing fine. The husband even has a bunch of money saved up!
The other items all happen later in the story, and are part of the rising action, climax, and falling action.
Hope that helps! For more information, check out the link.
