Read the excerpt from act 2 of A Doll's House.

Mrs. Linde: When you introduced him to me yesterday, he declared he had often heard my name mentioned in this house; but afterwards I noticed that your husband hadn't the slightest idea who I was. So how could Doctor Rank—?

Nora: That is quite right, Christine. Torvald is so absurdly fond of me that he wants me absolutely to himself, as he says. At first he used to seem almost jealous if I mentioned any of the dear folk at home, so naturally I gave up doing so. But I often talk about such things with Doctor Rank, because he likes hearing about them.

Mrs. Linde: Listen to me, Nora. You are still very like a child in many things, and I am older than you in many ways and have a little more experience. Let me tell you this—you ought to make an end of it with Doctor Rank.

What prediction does this excerpt best support?

Helmer is going to become jealous of Doctor Rank.
Nora will tell Doctor Rank that she does not love him.
Nora will ask Doctor Rank for money to pay the debt.
Mrs. Linde will accuse Nora of having an affair.

According to Nora's answer the reader expects that Mrs. Linde will accuse Nora of having an affair. The reader can infere this answer taking into account that:

1. Noras's husband is a jealous man

2. She has a background experience that demonstrates she is able to do so, when she states "if I mentioned any of the dear folk at home"

Answer:

Mrs. Linde will accuse Nora of having an affair.

Explanation:

As you can read in the excerpt Nora talks about not being able of talking to her husband and not being able to communicate the proper things to him, so she seeks that approval and that loving from other places where they actually appreciate what she has to say that is why Mrs. Linde will accuse Nora of having an affair, since the other men is the one that she spends time with and enjoys his company.
