Answer:

To show superiority and authority over Nora.

Explanation:

Nora, Torvald, and Krogstad are characters in the play "A Doll's House", by Henrik Ibsen. Torvald and Nora are husband and wife, and they a very sexist and abusive relationship. Torvald regards Nora as inferior, dependent, incapable. He sees himself as her lord and savior. To his mind, Nora must do everything to please him since, without him, she would be nothing. <u>When Nora begs him not to fire Krogstad - who is blackmailing her -, Torvald gets upset. He will not let a woman tell him what to do, even if she is asking, like Nora is, in a submissive manner, promising to entertain him. </u><u>He makes such a decisive show of mailing the letter firing Krogstad because he wants to make sure Nora knows her place. He wants to show his superiority and authority over his wife.</u>

Which details in the frame are similar to details in Ann’s description of her story’s setting in Hermit’s story?
Burka [1]

was one of the major participants in the Seven Years' War which lasted between 1754 and 1763. Britain emerged from the war as the world's leading colonial power, having gained a number of new territories at the Treaty of Paris in 1763 and established itself as the world's pre-eminent naval power.

The war started poorly for Britain, which suffered many deaths from the plague and scurvy, and at the hands of France in North America during 1754–55; and in the loss of Menorca in 1756. The same year Britain's major ally Austria switched sides and aligned itself with France; and Britain was hastily forced to conclude a new alliance with Frederick the Great's Prussia. For the next seven years these two nations were ranged against a growing number of enemy powers led by France. After a period of political instability, the rise of a government headed by the Duke of Newcastle and William Pitt the elder provided Britain with firmer leadership, enabling it to consolidate and achieve its war aims.

In 1759 Britain enjoyed an Annus Mirabilis, "year of miracles", with success over the French on the continent (Germany), in North America (capturing the capital of New France), and in India. In 1761 Britain also came into conflict with Spain. The following year British forces captured Havana and Manila, the western and eastern capitals of the Spanish Empire, and repulsed a Spanish invasion of Portugal. By this time the Pitt-Newcastle ministry had collapsed, Britain was short of credit and the generous peace terms offered by France and its allies were accepted.

Through the crown, Britain was allied to the Electorate of Hanover and Kingdom of Ireland, both of which effectively fell under British military command throughout the war. It also directed the military strategy of its various colonies around the world including British America. In India British possessions were administered by the East India Company.
