Is it the underlined or the hilghted deer

The parallel structure is in the birds and the wind. The small birds blew in the wind and the wind turned their feathers. The wind is mentioned again in the foxes tails and snow. Once you have lived in country where there is wind, you never forget how dominant it can be. Hemmingway reminds of this with his constant reference to what it does and the sentence structure concerning the wind is somewhat the same.

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.
