The three aspects of Curley's wife's appearance and behavior that suggest her desire for attention are:

  1. Wearing bright cotton dress - This choice of attire indicates a desire to stand out and be noticed.
  2. Using red ostrich feather mules - These eye-catching shoes further demonstrate her intention to attract attention.
  3. Carefully styled sausage curls - Her meticulous hair styling suggests she puts effort into her appearance to draw the gaze of others.

While her speaking softly to Lennie and moving closer to him may indicate a need for connection and intimacy, the first three choices more directly signify her desire for attention. Complaining about loneliness reflects her emotional state but does not explicitly convey a desire for attention in the same way as the other options.
