Read the passage from a doll’s house.

helmer: just think how a guilty man like that has to lie and play the hypocrite with every one, how he has to wear a mask in the presence of those near and dear to him, even before his own wife and children. and about the children—that is the most terrible part of it all, nora.

nora: how?

helmer: because such an atmosphere of lies infects and poisons the whole life of a home. each breath the children take in such a house is full of the germs of evil.

nora: [coming nearer him] are you sure of that?

helmer: my dear, i have often seen it in the course of my life as a lawyer. almost everyone who has gone to the bad early in life has had a deceitful mother.

nora: why do you only say—mother?

helmer: it seems most commonly to be the mother's influence, though naturally a bad father's would have the same result. every lawyer is familiar with the fact. this krogstad, now, has been persistently poisoning his own children with lies and dissimulation; that is why i say he has lost all moral character. [holds out his hands to her.] that is why my sweet little nora must promise me not to plead his cause. give me your hand on it. come, come, what is this? give me your hand. there now, that's settled. i assure you it would be quite impossible for me to work with him; i literally feel physically ill when i am in the company of such people.

nora: [takes her hand out of his and goes to the opposite side of the christmas tree]. how hot it is in here; and i have such a lot to do.

which statement makes the most accurate inference about torvald’s character, based on this passage?

torvald hints that he knows that nora has been deceitful, and he is using krogstad to get her to confess.

torvald hates people who lie, and he believes that liars negatively affect their children with their hypocrisy.

torvald worries about what people think of him because of krogstad’s indiscretion and lies.

torvald likes to control nora and treats her only as if he were her parent, rather than her husband.
