What evidence from the passage best supports the theme that one's true nature is revealed in times of
distress?
"True? Is this true, that I read here?"
“No, no—it is impossible that it can be true."
"Miserable creature—what have you done?"
"Here you shall stay and give me an explanation.”

"Miserable creature—what have you done?"

Explanation:

The given options are from the following passage from the play A Doll's House written by Henrik Ibsen:

Helmer [reeling]: True? Is this true, that I read here? Horrible! No, no—it is impossible that it can be true.

Nora: It is true. I have loved you above everything else in the world.

Helmer: Oh, don't let us have any silly excuses.

Nora [taking a step towards him]: Torvald—!

Helmer: Miserable creature—what have you done?

Nora: Let me go. You shall not suffer for my sake. You shall not take it upon yourself.

Helmer: No tragic airs, please. [Locks the hall door.] Here you shall stay and give me an explanation. Do you understand what you have done? Answer me! Do you understand what you have done?

Before this scene, Torvald had found out that Nora didn't borrow money from her father, but borrowed it illegally and has been saving up to pay off the debt. She did that and kept it a secret because she was distressed, miserable, and that's what the quote Miserable creature—what have you done? is about.

yes, it can be both.

i'm not sure what the second paragraph is but a decree is an official order issued by legal authority. find the one that best fits this definition.
