Explicação
## Step 1The first step in solving this problem is to understand the context of the excerpt from "A Doll's House". The excerpt is a dialogue between Nora and Helmer, where Helmer is discussing his decision to dismiss Krogstad, a man who has been causing trouble at the bank.## Step 2Next, we need to analyze the dialogue to understand Helmer's motivations and concerns. Helmer is worried about the perception of his colleagues if they believe that his decision to dismiss Krogstad is influenced by his wife, Nora.## Step 3Finally, we need to infer the most likely reason Helmer is giving Krogstad the job. Based on the dialogue, it seems that Helmer is more concerned about maintaining his authority and independence at work than about Krogstad himself.
