Maud Martha does not believe at all that moving might be a good thing, as Helen and Mama suggest. Which sentence from the passage best supports this inference?
A "'We'll be moving into a nice flat somewhere,' said Mama."
B "'I have friends I'd just as soon not bring here.'"
C "She merely gazed at a little hopping robin in the tree, her tree, and tried to keep the

D "She knew from the way they looked at her, that this had been a mistake."

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.
