The candle symbolizes Ilyich’s approaching death in the above excerpt from Leo Tolstoy’s “The Death of Ivan Ilyich.”

At the end of the novella “The Death of Ivan IIyich,” written by Leo Tolstoy speaks about the materialistic nature of the physical world. At the time of his death, Ivan says “ Death is finished, he said to himself. It is no more!” This line gives an insight into his perspective about life and death.

It shows that Ivan continues to fight for his life and gives the plot an open ending.

For Ivan death has caused an end of his life in this physical world but this has rewarded him a path towards spiritual world.

His death not just gives an end to the story but also a beginning of a new life and story of Ivan.

Correct the error of faulty parallelism in the following sentence:
anastassius [24]

Answer: Jefferson was both the writer of the declaration of independence and the nation's third president.

Explanation:

Faulty parallelism is also known as a parallel construction error. It occurs in sentences that contain lists, when grammatical structures within a sentence are not parallel. In other words, two or more parts of the sentence might be similar in meaning, but different in form.

In the second part of this sentence - <em>Jefferson was both the writer of the declaration of independence and he was the nation's third president</em>, 'he was' must be omitted. We already have the verb 'to be' at the beginning of the sentence that serves as an introduction to a list that follows, and encompasses both the phrase <em>'the writer of the declaration of independence</em>' and <em>'the nation's third president.</em>' It is, therefore, not grammatically correct to repeat the subject and the verb once again.
