ONLY HAVE LESS THAN 10 MINS HELLPPP

Read the excerpt from act 2 of A Doll's House. Nora: [putting her arms round her neck] Dear old Anne, you were a good mother to me when I was little. Nurse: Little Nora, poor dear, had no other mother but me. Nora: And if my little ones had no other mother, I am sure you would—What nonsense I am talking! [Opens the box.] Go in to them. Now I must—. You will see tomorrow how charming I shall look. Nurse: I am sure there will be no one at the ball so charming as you, ma'am. [Goes into the room on the left.] Nora: [begins to unpack the box, but soon pushes it away from her]. If only I dared go out. If only no one would come. If only I could be sure nothing would happen here in the meantime. Stuff and nonsense! No one will come. Only I mustn't think about it. I will brush my muff. What lovely, lovely gloves! Out of my thoughts, out of my thoughts! One, two, three, four, five, six— [Screams.] Ah! there is someone coming—. [Makes a movement towards the door, but stands irresolute.]

What prediction does this excerpt best support?
Nora will look beautiful at the ball.
Nora will decide to leave her family.
Nora will not leave her children.
Nora will stay home from the ball.

Nora will decide to leave her family. This is the correct version.

When Nora makes a comment about Anne's job and thinks that she might take care of her children, Nora is planning something. Nora does not finish her idea but it is clear she has something in mind. Anne is the woman who looked after her when she was a girl.

These options are wrong:

-Nora will look beautiful at the ball. This is not the conflict reflected in the excerpt. The conflict is related to the truth: Will her husband learn about it?

-Nora will not leave her children. In fact, she will leave them. Nora gets so furious that she decides not to live with Torvald and his children .

-Nora will stay home from the ball. The ball is not the main conflict.

Answer: Nora will decide to leave her family.


Nora was underestimated by her husband but finally she realized that she valued more than she really thought. She took the risk and gave herself a second opportunity in life. Nora decided to leave her family and started a new life because she was tired and she wanted to recover her dignity.
