Read the passage from A Doll’s House. Helmer: What are little people called that are always wasting money? Nora: Spendthrifts—I

know. Let us do as you suggest, Torvald, and then I shall have time to think what I am most in want of. That is a very sensible plan, isn't it? Helmer: [smiling] Indeed it is—that is to say, if you were really to save out of the money I give you, and then really buy something for yourself. But if you spend it all on the housekeeping and any number of unnecessary things, then I merely have to pay up again. Nora: Oh but, Torvald— Helmer: You can't deny it, my dear little Nora. [Puts his arm round her waist.] It's a sweet little spendthrift, but she uses up a deal of money. One would hardly believe how expensive such little persons are! Nora: It's a shame to say that. I do really save all I can. Helmer: [laughing] That's very true,—all you can. But you can't save anything! Nora: [smiling quietly and happily] You haven't any idea how many expenses we skylarks and squirrels have, Torvald. Based on this passage, which statement is the best inference about Torvald’s character?
He thinks that Nora is keeping secrets from him and chides her for lying.
He is not very generous and does not want Nora to spend money.
He loves his wife, but he treats her like a child rather than an adult.
He does not know Nora well enough to know what to buy her.

Based on this passage from "A Doll's House", by Henrik Ibsen, the statement that is the best inference about Torvald's character <em>He loves his wife, but he treats her like a child rather than an adult</em>. Torvald is delighted by his position of authority as a husband. Nora is not equal to him. He treats her as a doll in a kind and patronizing manner.

2. The excerpt mentions that George travelled from Minneapolis to the Pacific Ocean to collect salt water. With this in mind, ex
Naily [24]

Answer:

George had many perishable ingredients of organic origin to make the sandwich. We can see this when he says he planted and harvested all the vegetables necessary to carry out the project.

He probably needed conservation processes and equipment that would keep these products good during the six months of project execution. George did not build the conservation equipment, nor did he create the conservative methods that the equipment uses, which shows how unlikely he was to do the project completely on his own.
