Explanation:

In reading, prediction implies forecasting an action, event, reaction, etc. that will happen usually based on the information provided. In the case of the excerpt presented from A Doll's House, there is a dialogue between Mrs. Linde and Norma, in this Mrs. Linde found out Norma has spoken to Doctor Rank about her, also, Norma states "But I often talk about such things with Doctor Rank, because he likes hearing about them", this suggests Nora and Doctor Rank are close and might have an affair. Also, after the words of Normal, Mrs. Linde reacts negatively and states "you ought to make an end of it with Doctor Rank", these words show Mrs. Linde believes Norma and Doctor Rank have an affair and due to her negative reaction it is probably she accuses Norma about this. Therefore it can be predicted, "Mrs. Linde will accuse Nora of having an affair".
