Answer
A
Mrs. Linde is a friend of Nora’s and is now a widow.
B
Doctor Rank has ruined his reputation by committing a crime.
C
Nils Krogstad is a family friend of the Helmers’ and is gravely ill.
D
Nora Helmer is the main character and is accused of being a spendthrift.
E
Torvald Helmer is a bank manager, Nora’s husband, and a father of three children.

Explanation

Mrs. Linde is Nora’s old friend and has been widowed, so A is true. Nora is the central character, and Torvald repeatedly calls her a spendthrift, making D true. Torvald is Nora’s husband, manages a bank, and they have three children, so E is true. Doctor Rank is seriously ill, but he has not ruined his reputation by committing a crime; Krogstad’s reputation is compromised, but he is not gravely ill. Thus B and C are false.
