Read the passage from a doll’s house. nora: come here. [pulls her down on the sofa beside her.] now i will show you that i too have something to be proud and glad of. it was i who saved torvald's life. mrs. linde: "saved"? how? nora: i told you about our trip to italy. torvald would never have recovered if he had not gone there— mrs. linde: yes, but your father gave you the necessary funds. nora: [smiling] yes, that is what torvald and all the others think, but— mrs. linde: but— nora: papa didn't give us a shilling. it was i who procured the money. mrs. linde: you? all that large sum? nora: two hundred and fifty pounds. what do you think of that? mrs. linde: but, nora, how could you possibly do it? did you win a prize in the lottery? nora: [contemptuously] in the lottery? there would have been no credit in that. mrs. linde: but where did you get it from, then? nora: [humming and smiling with an air of mystery]. hm, hm! aha! mrs. linde: because you couldn't have borrowed it. nora: couldn't i? why not? mrs. linde: no, a wife cannot borrow without her husband's consent. nora: [tossing her head] oh, if it is a wife who has any head for business—a wife who has the wit to be a little bit clever— based on this passage, which statement is the most accurate inference to make about nora? nora thinks that her husband is incapable of getting enough money to save himself. nora deceives her husband so that she can have her own money to spend as she wishes. nora has a deep love for her husband to go to such an extreme length to save him. nora is resentful that she is not allowed to borrow money without her husband’s consent.

{asap} select the correct text in the passage. which line in this excerpt from jonathan swift's "a modest proposal" uses the rhetorical device of irony? and secondly, there being a round million of creatures in humane figure throughout this kingdom, whose whole subsistence put into a common stock, would leave them in debt two million of pounds sterling, adding those who are beggars by profession, to the bulk of farmers, cottagers and labourers, with their wives and children, who are beggars in effect; i desire those politicians who dislike my overture, and may perhaps be so bold to attempt an answer, that they will first ask the parents of these mortals, whether they would not at this day think it a great happiness to have been sold for food at a year old, in the manner i prescribe, and thereby have avoided such a perpetual scene of misfortunes, as they have since gone through, by the oppression of landlords, the impossibility of paying rent without money or trade, the want of common sustenance, with neither house nor cloaths to cover them from the inclemencies of the weather, and the most inevitable prospect of intailing the like, or greater miseries, upon their breed for ever. i profess, in the sincerity of my heart, that i have not the least personal interest in endeavouring to promote this necessary work, having no other motive than the publick good of my country, by advancing our trade, providing for infants, relieving the poor, and giving some pleasure to the rich. i have no children, by which i can propose to get a single penny; the youngest being nine years old, and my wife past child-bearing. lines highlighted: - there being a round million of creatures in humane figure throughout this kingdom, whose whole subsistence put into a common stock, would leave them in debt two million of pounds sterling, - they have since gone through, by the oppression of landlords, the impossibility of paying rent without money or trade, the want of common sustenance, with neither house nor cloaths to cover them from the inclemencies of the weather - i have not the least personal interest in endeavouring to promote this necessary work, having no other motive than the publick good of my country, - i have no children, by which i can propose to get a single penny; the youngest being nine years old, and my wife past child-bearing.
