from Wuthering Heights
While leading the way upstairs, she recommended that I should hide the candle, and not make a noise; for her master had an odd notion
about the chamber she would put me in, and never let anybody lodge there willingly. I asked the reason. She did not know, she answered: she had
only lived there a year or two; and they had so many queer goings on, she could not begin to be curious....
The ledge, where I placed my candle, had a few mildewed books piled up in one corner, and it was covered with writing scratched on the
paint. This writing, however, was nothing but a name repeated in all kinds of characters, large and small-Catherine Earnshaw, here and there

In Wuthering Heights, what would have Cathy and Heathcliff's marriage been like if they had managed to marry?

A marriage between Cathy and Heathcliff would have been explosive and unstable. Both characters are passionate in their attachment to each other. But passion, unlike real love, is not meant to build a relationship.

It destroys, demands, imposes, prohibits, entices, etc. Passion is strong, that is for sure, but so are its disadvantages. Cathy, who grows up wealthy and spoiled, is used to mistreating Heathcliff instead of treating him with respect and expressing her feelings for him in a healthy way. Heathcliff, hurt, proud, and wild, ends up doing the same.

Thus, option "4" is correct.
