The statement that seems to best explain how the plot structure contributes to the theme in this passage is:

a. Nora's speech resolves the conflict and develops the theme that women have an equal right to be free.

The reason why we may come to that conclusion is the fact that the play "A Doll's House" was considered scandalous by some and revolutionary by others because of its ending. Nora's decision to leave her home and family in order to free herself from duties and humiliation was something almost unthinkable at the time (1879). In the excerpt we have just read, Nora's speech is one of independence and equality. She knows that, by leaving, she is giving her husband the right to not care for her at all anymore. However, she also chooses to make it clear that she is freeing herself of the same obligation. Her attitude and action empower her, maybe not in the face of society, but to her own eyes. She is no longer her husband's puppet.

anyone who was dealing with communism in soviet union in his time had an ideal picture of equality, freedom, the struggle of the working class for a better future, the success of the aristocracy's overthrow and the emancipation of subjugation.   however, anyone who would go to soviet union to see the functioning of the communist system, would be convinced that it was about sad people, about everyday bad life, about the brutal attitude of communist leaders, about ill obsession to completely exterminate every thought on aristocracy. thus, orwell wanted to show all the absurdity, the brutality of the system, the unbearable rule of suspicious morality, the ignorant people who try to play professionally.
