Ответ:
The correct answer is B) The author attempts to portray Hanson as being dismissive of his wife, not seeing her as an equal partner
B is the best analysis of the author’s intention. There is plenty of evidence in the excerpt to say that Hanson is dismissive of his wife. The first evidence is when Hanson interrupts his wife when she was going to explain Carrie how to get to the business part, he starts answering the question as if his wife was not even present at the moment. Another piece of evidence, is when Carrie asks her sister about the neighborhood and Minnie answers in a very insecure tone, showing that the way Hanson interrupted her had affect her disposition. Hanson treats his wife as if she knew nothing about the topic.Ответ:
This excerpt comes from the novel “Sister Carrie” , written by Theodore Dreiser in which he relates about the life of Carrie Meeber who comes from humble beginnings to become a superstar. Her sister Minnie is married to Sven Hanson who is hard working and saving for a better future for his family.
