At the beginning of Henrik Ibsen's a doll house, Nora seems to be a devoted wofe and mother. Which sentence in this excerpt from act 1 of the play reflects her devotion to pleasing her husband?

NORA: I can't tell you exactly. You see, it is very difficult to keep an account of a business matter of that kind. 1.(I only know that I have paid every penny that I could scrape together.) Many a time I was at my wits' end. (Smiles) then I used to sit here and imagine that a rich old gentleman had fallen in love with me-

NORA: Good gracious, can't you understand? 2.(There was no old gentleman at all; it was only something I used to sit here and imagine, when I couldn't think of any way of procuring money.)

3.(To be able to be free from care, quite free from care; to be able to play and romp with the children; to be able to keep the house beautifully and have everything just as For half likes it!)

4.(Perhaps we shall be able to take a little trip-perhaps I shall see the sea again!)

Answer: 3.(To be able to be free from care, quite free from care; to be able to play and romp with the children; to be able to keep the house beautifully and have everything just as For half likes it!)

This is the sentence that best conveys the idea that Nora wants to be a good mother and a devoted wife. In this excerpt, Nora describes how she would like to be free from money worries in order to play more with her children. She would also like to keep the house beautifully in order to please her husband.
