Explanation:

Woolf uses emotionally charged language like "refuge" and references historical figures such as Currer Bell, George Eliot, and George Sand to emphasize her viewpoint on women's anonymity. Ibsen uses dialogue to create conflict between characters. The other options about cause - effect and problem - solution structures are not evident from the given passages, and the description of Ibsen's language as factual and direct is inaccurate as the dialogue is more about conflict than dry facts.

Answer:

B. Ibsen uses dialogue to build conflict between characters, while Woolf alludes to historical figures to make her point.
