Question

An Enemy of the People

Answer 1

Answer:

What Peter is implying in these lines from An Enemy of the People by Henrik Ibsen is that the Stockmanns spend too much on food. The correct answer is B.

Explanation:

I chose the second option because none of these lines expresses if Peter is hungry or not, so A can't be the correct answer; neither do we know if Mrs. Stockmann is a good cook, we can't infer that from this text, so C is also not the correct answer, and Peter doesn't seem to be annoyed, in fact he is invited to dinner and rejects the invitation, so D is not the answer either. The correct answer is B: In those last lines Peter rejects Mrs. Stockmann's invitation to dinner because he prefers his bread and butter, which "is much more wholesome in the long run" and "a little more economical".  By saying this, he is implying that the food the Stockmanns eat is expensive, and probably not as healthy as his.
