Answer from: jisalinas5576

The answer would be a. precious item.

Answer from: madisonnewby5021

The right answer is the A) Precious item.

Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can be added that the word divine comes from the Latin adjective divīnus, which translates as "divine, of a god," but which has also come to mean "delightful," "exquisite," and "excellent" (it can also mean "foreseeing," but that meaning does not concern us here). Since the speaker is here encouraging the reader to "search the lines," because they hold a valuable treasure (his lover's name), which he compares to a talisman or an amulet, the categorization of it as "divine" must therefore be interpretred as precious.

Answer from: Quest

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.
