Answer
A
Torvald is like a child, but Nora is more of a parental figure.
B
Nora can be deceptive, but Torvald can be condescending when he treats Nora like a child.
C
Torvald depends on Nora for everything, but she is very independent.
D
Nora does not enjoy eating sweets, but Torvald has a taste for them.
Explanation
Nora hides important information from Torvald, including the loan she took out, so she can be deceptive. Torvald often speaks to her in a patronizing way and treats her as if she were a child. This makes choice B the best comparison. The other choices misstate their relationship or their attitudes toward sweets.
