Answer: She wants to stay with Naomi
"And Ruth said, Intreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee: for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God." (Ruth 1:16) Perhaps she also didn't want to go with Orpah because Ruth only believes in one God. Orpah and Ruth are very different woman. We hear more about Ruth than Orpah since Orpah leaves, whereas Ruth stays.

From Quiz: The Biblical Story of Ruth
Answer: Daughter
Several scholars believe that Boaz was significantly older than Ruth was and the fact that he referred to her as "daughter" supports the assumption. Some people have also suggested that he was a widower before he married Ruth, and/or that he was even still married when he married Ruth, which would have made him a polygamist.
An example of Boaz using the term, in addition to a verse that suggests that Boaz was older than Ruth was, follows.
Ruth 3:10, NASB: "Then he said, 'May you be blessed of the Lord, my daughter. You have shown your last kindness to be better than the first by not going after young men, whether poor or rich.'"
Many other translations beside the NASB use the same word. However, the Easy-to-Read Version (ERV) uses "young woman" and the Living Bible (TLB) uses "girl" instead of "daughter".
"Honey" and "sweetheart" are, of course, common terms of endearment, but they are not correct for this question. Jesus frequently addressed females as simply "woman" in the New Testament.

From Quiz: Let's Not Be Ruthless!
Answer: who was the owner of the young woman (Ruth)
In the NKJV text his question reads, "Whose young woman is this?" or in other words, from whose household has she come; to whom does she belong? This gives you some insight into the position of a woman in this society: she had no truly independent identity, apart from her responsible male family member.
