Read the passage from a doll’s house.

nora: hide the christmas tree carefully, helen. be sure the children do not see it until this evening, when it is dressed. [to the porter, taking out her purse.] how much?

porter: sixpence.

nora: there is a shilling. no, keep the change. [the porter her, and goes out. nora shuts the door. she is laughing to herself, as she takes off her hat and coat. she takes a packet of macaroons from her pocket and eats one or two; then goes cautiously to her husband's door and listens.] yes, he is in. [still humming, she goes to the table on the right.]

what do the stage directions tell the reader about nora?

they show how much money nora gives to the porter.
they give important background details about nora’s life.
they show nora’s mood and her approach to her husband.
they show how nora wants to hide the christmas tree.

The correct answer is "They show Nora's mood and her apporach to her husband".

The stage directions in this excerpt focus mainly on Nora's cheerful mood after her exchange with the porter. We understand Nora is in a good mood with phrases such as "She is laughing to herself, as she takes off her hat and coat" and "Still humming, she goes to the table on the right", contained in the stage directions. In addition, we are able to envision her approach towards her husband as it's clarified that she wants to surprise him once she notices he's in ("...then goes cautiously to her husband's door and listens").

All the rest of the information in the other options are revealed through dialogue, and not stage direction.

Hope this helps!
