what is the best prediction about what will become of krogstad?
torvald will fire him.
which detail from the passage supports this prediction?
“and i hear he is a good worker, too.”
“every minute it is ‘i say, helmer, old fellow!’”
“he would make my position in the bank intolerable.”

Explanation:

The prediction that Torvald will fire Krogstad is supported by Helmer's clear statement that Krogstad's behavior makes his bank position unbearable, which gives him a strong motive to remove Krogstad. The other options either praise Krogstad or only describe his casual tone, not a direct reason for termination.

Answer:

The supporting detail: "He would make my position in the Bank intolerable."
