The above question is incomplete. The full question is:
"Read the passage from A Doll’s House.
Nora: Nurse, I want you to tell me something I have often wondered about—how could you have the heart to put your own child out among strangers?
Nurse: I was obliged to, if I wanted to be little Nora's Nurse.
Nora: Yes, but how could you be willing to do it?
Nurse: What, when I was going to get such a good place by it? A poor girl who has got into trouble should be glad to. Besides, that wicked man didn't do a single thing for me.
Nora: But I suppose your daughter has quite forgotten you.
Nurse: No, indeed she hasn't. She wrote to me when she was confirmed, and when she was married.
How does the author use the character of the nurse to develop the social issue of gender inequality? A. The nurse’s willingness to take care of Nora when Nora was little demonstrates a woman’s ability to do difficult work. B. The nurse’s need to give up a child in order to have a job demonstrates a woman’s inability to support herself. C. The fact that the nurse’s child wrote to her as a young girl and as an adult demonstrates a woman’s ability to keep friends forever. D. The nurse’s assurance to Nora that her children ask for her often demonstrates women’s role in health care."
Answer:
B. The nurse’s need to give up a child in order to have a job demonstrates a woman’s inability to support herself.
Explanation:
The text shown in the above, shows how a woman had to choose to create and participate in her daughter's life, or have a job so that she could support herself, have housing and food that would allow a minimum quality of life.
The text shows the social inequality in relation to women and especially when they were single mothers. This is because, women had few job opportunities and if they had children the bosses believed that the job would not be done correctly. This caused women to make difficult decisions in order to survive.
