mrs. linde: nils, a woman who has once sold herself for anothers sake, doesnt do it a second time.
krogstad: i will ask for my letter back.
mrs. linde: no, no.
krogstad: yes, of course i will. i will wait here until helmer comes; i will tell him he must give me my letter back—that it only concerns my dismissal—that he is not to read it—
mrs. linde: no, nils, you must not recall your letter.
krogstad: but, tell me, wasnt it for that very purpose that you asked me to meet you here?
which evidence from the text best supports the theme that it is better if the truth comes out?
\you want to save your friend at any cost?\
\a woman who has once sold herself for anothers sake, doesnt do it a second time.\
\this unhappy secret must be disclosed; they must have a complete understanding.\
\very well, if you will take the responsibility.\

Explanation:

• The theme is about the truth coming out.
• Option "This unhappy secret must be disclosed; they must have a complete understanding." directly mentions disclosing the secret (truth) for a complete understanding, which aligns with the theme.
• Option "You want to save your friend at any cost?" is about saving a friend, not about truth.
• Option "A woman who has once sold herself for another’s sake, doesn’t do it a second time." is about a woman's action regarding selling herself, not related to truth.
• Option "Very well, if you will take the responsibility." is about taking responsibility, not about truth coming out.

Answer:

C. "This unhappy secret must be disclosed; they must have a complete understanding."
