Answer:
C. “It was the first time that a woman, even a woman like Ida, had said things like this to me, and I lost my head. I gave her all the answers she wanted, and a great deal more as well.”
This shows the character's main conflict. The character has never felt the way Ida makes him feel. No one had ever said such things to him, and he does not know how he is supposed to react.
B. remains bewildered regarding Ida's continuing adoration for him.
The character believes that Ida loves him, however, he cannot bring himself to understand why. He considers himself ugly and insignificant, and cannot understand why someone like Ida would like him so much.
D. “At this, the woman started to laugh, and Ida, hissing like a viper, broke in: ‘There's nothing to laugh at...instead of laughing, you'd better stop rubbing yourself up against my husband...I suppose you think I didn't see you...You've been rubbing your arm up against him the whole time.’"
This sentence contributes to developing the theme that "love is blind." Ida does not see her lover the way everyone else sees him.
