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.

How does a free-form outline differ from a modified outline? A. A free-from outline does not present the essential information.
g100num [7]

Answer

Hi,

The correct answer option is {D}

Explanation

A free-form outline is one prepared without following a specific technique. This can be any style that makes sense to you and the purpose. It is not organized in a specific manner. A modified outline is one that begins with a main topic, then the details follows. It has a structure that contains the main idea, details, explanations and additional evidence that support the details. Modified outline is commonly used by default due to its organized structure.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

A square is a polygon with 4 sides of equal length and 4 right angle corners (90 degree corners).

Because it has 4 sides of equal length, a square is a regular quadrilateral.

A square is also a rectangle with equal sides and a rhombus with right angles.

The area of a square is equal to the length of one side to the power of two (length squared).
