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.

Tema [17]

Answer:

I've never taken journalism, but I can make one hell of an essay.

Explanation:

    Poaching is an illegal practice of delinquent rule breaking for the desire of killing for sport. Restrictions such as protected national parks, laws in most countries, protected and tracked endangered species, and other common regulations are all invalidated by hunters who poach. Laws on a country-wide level should be common knowledge, and should have no reason to be enforced so heavily in some countries. Even so, the illegal activity of poaching still occurs in many cases all over the world.

    This disgusting "sport" - as categorized by many - is extremely endangering to animals. In fact, most species on the endangered species list are animals who have the highest poaching rate. When they aren't killed for sport, they are killed for "rare" parts. An example of this would be the black rhino poaching crisis in Africa, where rhinos are killed for their horns.

    Similar to Yellowstone National Park, there are many special designated areas on the national level to protect the species that live there. More often than not, these areas have endangered species that are desired by hunters who poach. These areas are regularly monitored, and generally have decent security systems. This can include cameras, chips in the animals, or traditional strategies like standing guards.

    Chipped animals are those we can accurately track at any point and time. Think of your dog, who might have a chip in his ear so that if he runs away you can find him. We use these chips to track different animals or different species to make sure they are safe and where they need to be. Although this strategy seems bulletproof to catch poachers, illegal hunters have found a simple way around this.

    General laws are the least effective strategy to stop poachers, but the most common solution seen by far. While these laws are in place, they are rarely enforced due to them usually being on the federal government level in most countries. Although, as expected, most countries that use this strategy lets poaching go right under all of their noses, making the countries with these laws have the highest amount of this illegal activity going on.
