What could you compare the eighth century bards with from the twenty-first century? *

I guess you could compare bards to current rappers or singers. Bards were basically professional "verse makers", music composers, or storytellers so i'd compare that to a rapper or singer.

the correct answer is a "it describes nora and mrs. linde's relationship". opcions b and d are not related to the content of the passage in any way. option c could be appropiate but it does not fully capture the effect of the dialogue, while option a is quite appropiate, since the dialogue not only exemplifies the relationship between the characters, but it also captures the effect in the excerpt. we get to know that mrs linde bosses around and already knows nora.
