How can imitating an author's stylistic choices help to understand a piece of literature and improve one's writing?

It helps one understand writing better.

Explanation:

If you imitate the writing of a specific author, you are opening your mind to new ideas and your brain will grow by trying something new out. Scientific evidence shows that when you write something down, you remember it better. This also goes for imitating writing. You will understand the new idea of writing and it will improve your own writing because you have experienced different things. The only way to get better at writing is to write.

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.
