what evidence from the text best supports the theme that society can put mothers in impossible situations?
○ \oh well, young children easily get accustomed to anything.\
○ \do you think they would forget their mother if she went away altogether?\
○ \how could you have the heart to put your own child out among strangers?\
○ \i want you to tell me something i have often wondered about\

Explanation:

The theme focuses on society forcing mothers into impossible choices. The nurse's line about being "obliged to" give up her child to work shows she had no other option due to societal/economic pressures, which is reflected in Nora's question that prompts this revelation. The option "How could you have the heart to put your own child out among strangers?" directly references the painful, forced choice the nurse (a mother) had to make, highlighting the impossible situation society created for her.

Answer:

"How could you have the heart to put your own child out among strangers?"
