Question

Read the passage from A Doll’s House.

Answer 1

Answer:

A. “The same little featherhead!”

C. “That is like a woman!”

E. “What is this! Is my little squirrel out of temper?”

Explanation:

These are the sentences that demonstrate that Torvald sometimes treats Nora like a child. In the options A and E, he uses childish names to minimize her opinions and her feelings. His statements imply that he believes these to be immature thoughts. Statement C, moreover, implies that he believes all women are the same, because the thinks that Nora is acting in this "silly" way because she is a woman.

Answer 2

Choices A, C, and E are the best options.

Choices A and E both use childish nicknames and both describe Nora as being "Little", showing that he still thinks she is a child.

Choice E shows that in just that moment, he thought she acted as a real woman, implying that other time he does not see it as such or that she doesn't act that way often.
