Answer 1

The phrase suggests that he is going to die.

Step-by-step explanation:

The phrase 'he said farewell to his followers, each in his turn, for the last time' suggests that C) he is going to die.

In the given passage, Nora mentions that the person in question told her that when the cards came, it would be his leave-taking from them, indicating his intention to shut himself up and die. This interpretation is further supported by the conversation between Nora and Helmer, where Helmer expresses his sadness and realization that they will not have the person for much longer, and he hides himself away like a wounded animal. Therefore, the phrase suggests that the person is going to die.
