Answer: B. By having Ruth feel pride toward Walter after her initial indifference, the author leaves the reader feeling satisfied with their relationship.

Walter has been a complicated character throughout the play. Unhappy with his financial situation, he is desperate to improve it, at the same time as he is ashamed because of his inability to provide for his family. This leads him to make bad financial decisions that only leave the family in a worse situation. This has also taken a toll on his relationship with Ruth. However, in this scene, we see Walter has changed, and Ruth has noticed. She is extremely proud of him, which implies that their relationship will survive.
