Which statement best compares Nora and Torvald's

Torvald is like a child, but Nora is more of a parental

condescending when he treats Nora like a child.
[Helmer:) But, do you know, it strikes me that you are
looking rather-what shall I say-rather uneasy today?
Nora: Do I?
Helmer: You do, really. Look straight at me.
Nora: [looks at him] Well?
Helmer: [wagging his finger at her] Hasn't Miss Sweet
Tooth been breaking rules in town today?
Nora: No; what makes you think that?
Helmer: Hasn't she paid a visit to the confectioner's?
Nora: No, I assure you, Torvald-
-A Doll's House,
Henrik Ibsen
Torvald depends on Nora for everything, but she is
very independent.
Nora does not enjoy eating sweets, but Torvald has
a taste for them.
