1. where does the writer stray from the topic? what could be done to fix this problem? explain what you
would cut and cross it out in the text of the essay.

yes

explanation:

umm of course in fact ur getting your answer : )

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.

both are bitter over their mistake
