Excerpt from dombey and son charles dickens the words had such a softening influence, that he appended a term of endearment to mrs dombey’s name (though not without some hesitation, as being a man but little used to that form of address): and said, ’mrs dombey, my—my dear.’ a transient flush of faint surprise overspread the sick lady’s face as she raised her eyes towards him. ’he will be christened paul, my—mrs dombey — of course.’ she feebly echoed, ’of course,’ or rather expressed it by the motion of her lips, and closed her eyes again. what can the reader infer about mr. dombey and his wife's relationship by her reaction of surprise to his addressing her as "my dear"? a) that mr. dombey is usually formal and distant to his wife b) that mr. dombey has a passionate relationship with his wife c) that mr. dombey is quite sentimental and loving to his wife d) that mr. dombey always addresses his wife with sweet nicknames

(A) that Mr. Dombey is usually formal and distant to his wife

The choice A seems to be the correct answer because when he uses the word "my dear"his sick wife has a  transient flush of faint surprise overspread the sick lady’s face as she raised her eyes towards him.She feebly echoed, “Of course,” or rather expressed it by the motion of her lips, and closed her eyes again.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
