Read this excerpt from the last paragraph of the passage. All my confidence in that crossing vanished. I seized the bell- rope, dropped it, ashamed; seized it again; dropped it once more; clutched it tremblingly once again, and pulled it so feebly that I could hardly hear the stroke myself. What is the effect of the choice to repeat the word dropped?
A. It reveals the narrator is nervous and fumbling.
B. It hints that the narrator wants to appear relatable.
C. It gives the sentence an eerie ominous mood
D. It makes the tone of the sentence nformal

the correct answer is a "it describes nora and mrs. linde's relationship". opcions b and d are not related to the content of the passage in any way. option c could be appropiate but it does not fully capture the effect of the dialogue, while option a is quite appropiate, since the dialogue not only exemplifies the relationship between the characters, but it also captures the effect in the excerpt. we get to know that mrs linde bosses around and already knows nora.

well i said my prayers, however, he simply turned and limped off.
