Are these sentences natural? Dec 05

Hi,

Are these sentences natural to a native ear?

1. As her options are llimited, I think she is better off staying at home.

2. I was trying to get a hold of you so that I can hand you my list of questions.

3. I was wondering when you would be able send the answers to my questions.

Thanks,
MG
