The statement that would best summarise the excerpt from Leo Tolstoy's work would be that "<span>Ivan Ilyich could recall pleasant days only in his childhood." In addition to that, the character is reminiscing the things that happened in his younger days. Leo Tolstoy is among the most prominent authors in Russian literature.</span>
Generosity is freely sharing what you have with others. It is being willing to offer money, help or time when it is needed. To be generous means giving something that is valuable to you without expectation of reward or return. Many traditions measure generosity not by the size of the gift, but by what it cost the giver.
Sometimes generosity requires pushing past a feeling of reluctance because we all instinctively want to keep good things for ourselves. Even so, we can structure our lives in ways that make generosity more spontaneous and fun. When we intentionally "live below our means" and avoid overcommitment, we cultivate a sense of bounty or surplus that makes us want to share. When we give, we reap the pleasure of knowing we have made someone else's life a little happier.

- C. She exaggerates her actions in order to prove a point.
- D. She is more intent on pleasing herself than she is on pleasing the man.
The answers are A, C and D.
<u>From the excerpt we can see the woman is exaggerating her movements and actions, which is most clearly seen in the last line "She spoke with great distinctness, moving her lips meticulously, as if in parlance with the deaf."</u>
<u>She is exaggerating her movement of the lips and accenting of the words in order to try to prove what she says and underline its importance, even to hide her real thoughts. </u>
<u>We also see she does this for her own enjoyment and exposure with the line "extended her hand at the length of her arm and held it so for all the world to see, until the Negro took it, shook it, and gave it back to her."</u>
<u>With this she is trying to draw attention to her pleasure, to the man taking her hand, to show how she is graceful and polite, and to better her social status. </u>
