Explanation:

These statements reflect core character dynamics and plot points from Henrik Ibsen's A Doll's House:

1. Mrs. Linde, Nora's old friend, listens to Nora's struggles and gives guidance.
2. Nora clashes with her husband Torvald over secrecy and control, and with Krogstad over the blackmail plot.
3. Doctor Rank is a trusted family friend whose advice Nora and Torvald value.
4. Krogstad, Torvald's employee, lent Nora money under false pretenses and uses this to blackmail her to keep his job.

The incorrect options: Krogstad acts out of self-interest, not to help the couple; Mrs. Linde is Nora's friend, not Torvald's, and she seeks work on her own initiative via Torvald, not Nora.

Answer:

• Mrs. Linde listens to Nora's problems and offers advice
• Nora experiences conflict with her husband and Krogstad
• Doctor Rank is a friend to both Nora and Torvald, and they respect his advice
• Krogstad, who works for Torvald, secretly lent money to Nora, and intends to use this fact as blackmail
