Answer:
C. He is excited and nervous, but doesn't want Natalya to know it.
Explanation:
In this farce - <em>The Proposal</em> by Anton Chekhov we have Lomov and Natalya as main characters, besides her father. Lomov is a kind of man who has a problem with coming to the point when talking thus making a lot of digresses. Since this is a sensitive matter for him, he expresses anxiety and nervousness first while talking to Chubukov, Natalya`s father, then while talking to Natalya. So he just goes around expending the talking by, as seen in this excerpt, guessing her reaction to the still unknown matter of marital proposal. Then he comments the weather while trying to show himself as relaxed, though he is not even close to that.
You should do something about animals or animal abuse. Something on how to help stop animal abuse.
Sad and stingy probably would not work in this situation, but sly and mean are possibilities. Although either could be correct, I would go with sly, which means they are sneaky and conniving. I’m not a 100% sure, but I believe sly is the best answer. I hope this helps!
