A balance between the number of states where slavery was allowed and where it was outlawed.

Explanation:

This is the main reason why the United States was able to avoid major civil unrest during the first years of the 1800s. During these years, the country contained twenty-two states, and these were evenly divided between free and slave states. This ensured that the balance of power in the country was maintained. The Missouri Compromise represented an effort to maintain this balance, as a slave state could only be accepted into the Union if a free state joined at the same time, and vice versa.

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.
