What's the difference between “explode” ,“ burst" and"blow up"?
For instance:
(1) She looked like she was ready to explode with anger.
(2) She looked like she was ready to burst into anger.
(3) She looked like she was ready to blow up.
Thank you very much for reading my question.

Numbers "1" and "3" are correctly used. Number "2" does not sound good to me.
I think "burst" suggests that the action has already happened. "Burst" happened in the past. I also would use "in" with "anger."
I think number 2 should be;
Yesterday, she looked like she was ready to burst in anger.
Also, "1" is very polite and accurate.
while "3" has a more casual or slang phrase," blow up".
