How does the author of defoe's robinson crusoe deveop the theme over the course of the story

answer: it means that he would rather write than preach.

explanation: its what it says

are there answer choices to this particular question?

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.
