What does baked in the sun means?

this phrase means that the beat of the sun is so intense it is almost unbearrable.

It means that if someone receives a lot of sun and get dehydrated in hot temperature then they are "baked in the sun"

umm of course in fact ur getting your answer : )

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.
