Which two parts of this excerpt from Leo Tolstoy's The Death of Ivan Ilyich suggest that doctors, like lawyers, are part of the

superficial middle-class world of nineteenth century Russia?
He went. Everything took place as he had expected and as it always does. There was the usual waiting and the important air assumed by the doctor, with which he was so familiar (resembling that which he himself assumed in court), and the sounding and listening, and the questions which called for answers that were foregone conclusions and were evidently unnecessary, and the look of importance which implied that "if only you put yourself in our hands we will arrange everything—we know indubitably how it has to be done, always in the same way for everybody alike." It was all just as it was in the law courts. The doctor put on just the same air towards him as he himself put on towards an accused person.

The doctor said that so-and-so indicated that there was so- and-so inside the patient, but if the investigation of so-and-so did not confirm this, then he must assume that and that. If he assumed that and that, then...and so on. To Ivan Ilyich only one question was important: was his case serious or not? But the doctor ignored that inappropriate question. From his point of view it was not the one under consideration, the real question was to decide between a floating kidney, chronic catarrh, or appendicitis. It was not a question the doctor solved brilliantly, as it seemed to Ivan Ilyich, in favour of the appendix, with the reservation that should an examination of the urine give fresh indications the matter would be reconsidered. All this was just what Ivan Ilyich had himself brilliantly accomplished a thousand times in dealing with men on trial. The doctor summed up just as brilliantly, looking over his spectacles triumphantly and even gaily at the accused. From the doctor's summing up Ivan Ilyich concluded that things were bad, but that for the doctor, and perhaps for everybody else, it was a matter of indifference, though for him it was bad. And this conclusion struck him painfully, arousing in him a great feeling of pity for himself and of bitterness towards the doctor's indifference to a matter of such importance.

Which sentence has an error in subject-verb agreement? The importance of Fleming's discovery wasn't realized right away. It wasn
NISA [10]

Answer:

The sentence that has an error in subject-verb agreement is:

His discoveries was a combination of luck and hard work.

Explanation:

When we say a subject and a verb have to agree, we mean the verb must be inflected in accordance to the subject. If the subject is singular, the verb must also be singular. If the subject is plural, the verb is also plural. The verb "to be", especially, is quite an irregular verb, and requires due attention.

Having that in mind, we can say the sentence that contains an error is "His discoveries was a combination of luck and hard work." The noun "discoveries" is the main word of the subject, and it is plural. However, the verb "was" (past form of the verb "to be") can only be used for singular subjects. For the sentence to be correct, it should be:

His discoveries were a combination of luck and hard work.

How is poetry different than prose
belka [17]

The language of prose is typically straightforward without much decoration. Ideas are contained in sentences that are arranged into paragraphs. There are no line breaks.

Poetry is typically reserved for  expressing something special in an  artistic way.
