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?

A.) Nora thinks that her husband is incapable of getting enough money to save himself.
B.) Nora deceives her husband so that she can have her own money to spend as she wishes.
C.) Nora has a deep love for her husband to go to such an extreme length to save him.
