Answer:

The answer is: Helmer acts kindly towards Mrs. Linde while she is present, but insults her when she leaves.

Explanation:

This is a question from an excerpt from A Doll's House. To correctly understand this, let's read the excerpt below:

Helmer: Do you know, you ought to embroider.

Mrs. Linde: Really? Why?

Helmer: Yes, it's far more becoming. Let me show you. You hold the embroidery thus in your left hand, and use the needle with the right-like this-with a long, easy sweep. Do you see?

Mrs. Linde: Yes, perhaps

Helmer: But in the case of knitting-that can never be anything but ungraceful; look here-the arms close together, the knitting-needles going up and down-it has a sort of Chinese effect. That was really excellent champagne they gave us.

Mrs. Linde: Well, goodnight, Nora, and don't be self-willed any more.

Helmer: That's right, Mrs. Linde.

Mrs. Linde. Goodnight, Mr. Helmer.

Helmer (accompanying her to the door): Goodnight, goodnight. I hope you will get home all right. I should be very happy to-but you haven't any great distance to go. Goodnight, goodnight.

(She goes out; he shuts the door after her, and comes in again.)

Ah! At last we have got rid of her. She is a frightful bore, that woman.

In the excerpt above, we see how the conflict between Helmer's private and public selves develops the theme that appearances can be deceiving. In the presence of Mrs Linde, Helmer's attitude is kind and warm, but once she leaves, we see that Helmer infact does not like her. This is shown by his statement here "Ah! At last we have got rid of her. She is a frightful bore, that woman".

This shows how deceitful appearances can be because Helmer is showing the opposite of how he really feels towards Mrs. Linde.

Given the explanation above, the answer therefore is: Helmer acts kindly towards Mrs. Linde while she is present, but insults her when she leaves.

Answer:

C. Helmer acts kindly towards Mrs. Linde while she is present, but insults her when she leaves.

Explanation:

Helmer [accompanying her to the door]: Goodnight, goodnight. I hope you will get home all right. I should be very happy to—but you haven't any great distance to go. Goodnight, goodnight. [She goes out; he shuts the door after her, and comes in again.] Ah!—at last we have got rid of her. She is a frightful bore, that woman.

In the first part, she is being polite by saying goodnight. After, she talks about how she truly feels.

Explanation:

Read the excerpt from The Crisis, Number I, by Thomas Paine.

"Britain, with an army to enforce her tyranny, has declared that she has a right (not only to TAX) but 'to BIND us in ALL CASES WHATSOEVER,' and if being bound in that manner, is not slavery, then is there not such a thing as slavery upon earth."

Which is the best way to paraphrase this excerpt?

Britain has oppressed the colonist in many ways

Read the excerpt from a summary of Common Sense.

[1] Thomas Paine states that to talk of friendship with Britain is unwise. [2] Relations between the countries are steadily declining, and he is certain that they will not improve. [3] Paine concludes that reconciliation is not possible because some injuries are unforgivable. [4] Paine's logic is indisputable; without his words, America might have remained subject to British rule to this day.

Which sentence should be revised to make this summary more objective?

Sentence 4

Read the excerpt from a summary of the Declaration of Independence.

[1] The Declaration of Independence is beautifully written. [2] Jefferson argues that everyone has the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. [3] It is a government's job to protect these rights. [4] When a government fails, Jefferson asserts that the people can overthrow their government.

Which sentence should be revised to make this summary more objective?

Read the summary of the first three paragraphs of "The World On Turtle's Back."

[1] In the beginning, there was no land, only the great ocean. [2] The Sky-World, the home of the gods, was above the ocean. [3] A sacred tree stood at the center. [4] One of the gods pulled out some of its roots for his pregnant wife. [5] This created a hole in the floor of the Sky-World. [6] The man's wife fell through the hole toward the ocean below, clutching the roots in her hand.

Explanation:

Is source of Lava all you are going to put in the second section? If it is, that eliminates both the first and last ones. Part 2 is always safe, no matter what comes next.

If it's a science report, part 2 is safe. I think I'd pick it. Dull but it directs the reader to a change.
