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.

Hello. You forgot to put the part of the speech that the question is referring to. The speech part is:

"if we are to win the battle that is now going on around the world between freedom and tyran occurred in recent weeks should have made clear to us all the impact of this adventure on them efforts in space have been under review. with the advice of the vice president, we have examine we may succeed and where we may not. now it is time to take longer strides-time for a great a clearly leading role in space achievement. this in many ways may hold the key to our future on recognizing the head start obtained by the soviets with their large rocket engines, we nevert own. for while we cannot guarantee that we shall one day be first, we can guarantee that any fa additional risk by making it in full view of the world, but this very risk enhances our stature whe whatever mankind must undertake, free men must fully share. "

Answer:

"this in many ways may hold the key to our future on recognizing the head start obtained by the soviets with their large rocket engines, we nevert own."

Explanation:

The above sentence reinforces the argument of the author of the speech, on why the government should invest in the space race. This is because the phrase shows that the author believes that it is in the space race that this is the key to success in the battle against the Soviet Union. For the author, the investment in the space race would give strength to the USA and establish its power as a potential to be followed and admired.
