Read the excerpt from act 3 of a doll’s house.

krogstad: but, tell me, wasn't it for that very purpose that you asked me to meet you here?
mrs. linde: in my first moment of fright, it was. but twenty-four hours have elapsed since then, and in that time i have witnessed incredible things in this house. helmer must know all about it. this unhappy secret must be disclosed; they must have a complete understanding between them, which is impossible with all this concealment and falsehood going on.
krogstad: very well, if you will take the responsibility. but there is one thing i can do in any case, and i shall do it at once.

what widely accepted archetype of the late 1800s does this text challenge?
a. the man as a ruler
b. the man as a trickster
c. the woman as a mother
d. the woman as a caregiver

A. the man as a ruler.

Explanation:

This is the widely accepted archetype of the late 1800s that is being challenged in this text. In this text, we learn about a secret that both Krogstad and Mrs. Linde share. However, Mrs. Linde believes that "this unhappy secret must be disclosed." She states this to Krogstad, and he agrees as long as she takes responsibility for it. This shows that Mrs. Linde has, at this moment, more control, decisiveness and responsibility than Krogstad, which challenges the idea of the man as a ruler.

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.
