Answer 1

In excess is a synonym for over

Answer 2

The correct answer in "in excess of"

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the context, the meaning of "over" is in excess of since it implies that she has worked 3 extra hours during the week.

The rest of the options are incorrect since they don´t match the context. The option "short" for example is the opposite of the meaning of the sentence.
