Final answer:
Tevye's concerns in the provided text are unclear but seem related to meal preparations or household affairs, as he stops eating at intervals and seems preoccupied during the meal. The text does not specifically mention Tevye being concerned about a task, letter, or chores being finished inside. Option a.
Step-by-step explanation:
In the provided text, Tevye is concerned about being finished with meal preparations inside. The passage describes how Tevye stops eating at intervals during the meal and seems preoccupied, suggesting his concerns lie within something related to the meal or potentially household affairs. In contrast, Mrs. Linde from the second passage is focused on making a home comfortable and is preparing for the arrival of others, indicating her concerns with household chores.
The two texts do not provide a clear answer to what Tevye is concerned about being finished inside specifically neither a task, a letter, nor the household chores are mentioned in the passages provided. The text about Tevye mentions him eating and then sitting outside, reflecting on something after the meal, but it does not specify what inside task he is concerned about. Therefore, without more context from the passages, Tevye's exact concerns about being finished inside are unclear.
