Answer:
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.

Answer: Nora's speech resolves the conflict and develops the theme that women have an equal right to be free.
Explanation:
<em>A Doll's House</em> is a three-act play written by Henrik Ibsen. Its premiere was performed at the Royal Theater in Copenhagen, in 1879.
Some critics considered the play's ending scandalous, while others praised it as revolutionary. At the end, Nora decides to leave home and become free from all the duties and humiliation, which was unimaginable in 1879, when women were dependent on their husbands. The excerpt given above celebrates Nora's independence and equal rights. She is aware that her husband will not look after her when she leaves, but chooses to be free from all the obligations. Although the society might disapprove of her decision, the feeling of freedom is more important to her.
