PLZ ANSWER ASAP I WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST Read the passage from A Doll’s House. Helmer: [calls out from his room]. Is that my little lark twittering out there? Nora: [busy opening some of the parcels]. Yes, it is! Helmer: Is it my little squirrel bustling about? Nora: Yes! Helmer: When did my squirrel come home? Nora: Just now. [Puts the bag of macaroons into her pocket and wipes her mouth.] Come in here, Torvald, and see what I have bought. Helmer: Don't disturb me. [A little later, he opens the door and looks into the room, pen in hand.] Bought, did you say? All these things? Has my little spendthrift been wasting money again? Nora: Yes but, Torvald, this year we really can let ourselves go a little. This is the first Christmas that we have not needed to economize. How do the stage directions in brackets affect the meaning of the text? They tell the reader that Torvald opens his door only when he realizes that Nora has spent money. They tell the reader that Torvald uses pet names for Nora and treats her like a child. They show the reader that Torvald thinks that Nora bought too much. They show the reader that Torvald prefers his pets over his wife.

They show the reader that Torvald thinks that Nora bought too much.

Explanation:

Stage directions are the 'extra details' that are included in a script, containing instructions of "how or where or who or what" of the play or story. It also acts as an indication of the tone of the characters' voices, the setting and sounds, and lighting effects. Basically, it provides us the extra information about the whole story or where it was set or what is happening in the background.

In the given excerpt from Henrik Ibsen's play A Doll's House, Torvald is in his room, working, when Nora came back from her Christmas shopping. He doesn't seem to mind what is happening until she used the word "bought". And the use of the word "spendthrift" and "wasting money" seems to suggest his economical behavior, his reluctance to even allow his own wife to have some things that they normally don't. Added to that, Nora also mentioned that "This is the first Christmas that we have not needed to economize" which seems to suggest they have always been so economical with their spending every year.  Torvals seems to care a great deal about how money is spent in their household.

Thus, the correct answer is the third option.

Well, I haven't read "this" article, but Stress for Success means to me that, if you have a little stress in your life, you can have a successful life.
