Answer:

The correct answer is D.

Explanation:

By starting the story in the middle of the conflict, the author is trying to make the reader question what is happening and what has happened before. This way, the reader feels encouraged to keep reading so as to discover the events that led to the initial situation.

What theme is portrayed in this excerpt from Leo Tolstoy’s The Death of Ivan Ilyich?
rosijanka [135]
Keeping up appearances in society i believe is the answer though im not entirely sure 

Though it could be power of wealth but then again in the excerpt he said for those who want to be wealthy so the answer would have to be Keeping up appearances in society. 

due to him saying for those who want to be rich and he thought that his was exceptional even though it looked like all the others which means he kept his appearance in society to get praises from his family which means the house is nice.

Hope this helps enough to get brainly o -o
