Question

read the excerpt from act 3 of a dolls house.
helmer: how unreasonable and how ungrateful you are, nora! have you not been happy here?
nora: no, i have never been happy. i thought i was, but it has never really been so.
helmer: not—not happy!
nora: no, only merry. and you have always been so kind to me, but our home has been nothing but a playroom. i have been your doll - wife, just as at home i was papas doll - child, and here the children have been my dolls. i thought it great fun when you played with me, just as they thought it great fun when i played with them. that is what our marriage has been, torvald.
what prediction does the text best support?
○ helmer is going to change how he treats nora.
○ helmer is going to leave nora and the children.
○ nora is going to leave helmer and the children.
○ nora is going to tell helmer to treat her better.

Explanation:

Nora explicitly states she has never been truly happy, framing her marriage and home as a "playroom" where she was a "doll-wife" and the children were her dolls. This expression of profound dissatisfaction with her constrained role strongly indicates she will take decisive action to escape this dynamic, which aligns with leaving Helmer and the children. The other options are not supported: there is no sign Helmer will change or leave, and Nora's critique goes beyond just asking for better treatment.

Answer:

Nora is going to leave Helmer and the children.
