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.
After getting Cyclops drunk on wine, Odysseus takes away his eye. Cyclops invited Odysseus not to kill him but to bring to his notice that it was Odysseus who was destined to take his eye. Cyclops wanted to befriend him.
The answer is c. control our bias. When we are bias towards an idea or belief we

We are so set in our ways that we refuse to give it a chance. When you control your bias, you are giving
something a chance and learn from it. It
is an opportunity to grow and improve as an individual.
