Select the correct text in the passage. Which sentence in this excerpt from Leo Tolstoy’s The Death of Ivan Ilyich suggests that

Ivan Ilyich’s wife, Praskovya Fedorovna, takes no responsibility for his illness? Her attitude was this: "You know," she would say to her friends, "Ivan Ilyich can't do as other people do, and keep to the treatment prescribed for him. One day he'll take his drops and keep strictly to his diet and go to bed in good time, but the next day unless I watch him he'll suddenly forget his medicine, eat sturgeon—which is forbidden—and sit up playing cards till one o'clock in the morning." "Oh, come, when was that?" Ivan Ilyich would ask in vexation. "Only once at Peter Ivanovich's." "And yesterday with shebek." "Well, even if I hadn't stayed up, this pain would have kept me awake." "Be that as it may you'll never get well like that, but will always make us wretched." Praskovya Fedorovna's attitude to Ivan Ilyich's illness, as she expressed it both to others and to him, was that it was his own fault and was another of the annoyances he caused her. Ivan Ilyich felt that this opinion escaped her involuntarily—but that did not make it easier for him. At the law courts too, Ivan Ilyich noticed, or thought he noticed, a strange attitude towards himself. It sometimes seemed to him that people were watching him inquisitively as a man whose place might soon be vacant. Then again, his friends would suddenly begin to chaff him in a friendly way about his low spirits, as if the awful, horrible, and unheard-of thing that was going on within him, incessantly gnawing at him and irresistibly drawing him away, was a very agreeable subject for jests.

The sentence in the above excerpt from Leo Tolstoy’s “The Death of Ivan Ilyich” which suggests that Ivan Ilyich’s wife, Praskovya Fedorovna, takes no responsibility for his illness is:

“Praskovya Fedorovna's attitude to Ivan Ilyich's illness, as she expressed it both to others and to him, was that it was his own fault and was another of the annoyances he caused her.”

From the story “The Death of Ivan Ilyich” Tolstoy wants to convey his thoughts about the types of lives. According to him, there are two types of lives, one is the artificial life and the other is the authentic life. Characters like Ivan, his wife Praskovya and Peter in the story are leading a life of artificial while Gerasim is the only one living an authentic life. Shallow relationships, materialism, and self-interests are the characteristics of an artificial life. Praskovya and Ivan's relationship is seen to be shallow and self-centered in the story.

Question 4 (1.5 points)
Serggg [28]

Answer:

Her abuelito's death reminds her that her father could die, too.

Explanation:

Sandra Cisneros' <em>The House on Mango Street</em> from which the short narrative "Papa Who Wakes Up Tired in the Dark" is taken from is about a young girl Esperanza. Her and her family's life in Chicago in Mango Street and her eventual maturity covers the whole book in short stories/ narratives.

In the part "Papa Who Wakes Up Tired in the Dark", Esperanza recalls how her father had woken her up to tell her about her abuelito/ grandfather. She recalls seeing her <em>"brave Papa"</em> cry, a new side of his father that she had never seen or observed. This train of thought led her to think about her own father's death, which made her decision to <em>"hold my Papa in my  arms. I hold and hold and hold him."</em> It reminds her that her own father could die too.

Thus, the correct answer is the third option.
