How does Tolstoy set up Gerasim to be a foil to Praskovya Fedorovna in these two excerpts from The Death of Ivan Ilyich? Gerasim

alone did not lie; everything showed that he alone understood the facts of the case and did not consider it necessary to disguise them, but simply felt sorry for his emaciated and enfeebled master. Once when Ivan Ilyich was sending him away he even said straight out: "We shall all of us die, so why should I grudge a little trouble?"—expressing the fact that he did not think his work burdensome, because he was doing it for a dying man and hoped someone would do the same for him when his time came. . . . When the examination was over the doctor looked at his watch, and then Praskovya Fedorovna announced to Ivan Ilyich that it was of course as he pleased, but she had sent today for a celebrated specialist who would examine him and have a consultation with Michael Danilovich (their regular doctor). "Please don't raise any objections. I am doing this for my own sake," she said ironically, letting it be felt that she was doing it all for his sake and only said this to leave him no right to refuse. He remained silent, knitting his brows. He felt that he was surrounded and involved in a mesh of falsity that it was hard to unravel anything.

Which statement best describes how the authors’ purposes are similar?
pav-90 [236]

An author can have several purposes for writing and it is primarily his reason for or intent for writing a certain piece. It could be to inform, entertain, amuse or persuade a reader.

An author's purpose is the reason or motivation for writing a text. When a reader knows an author's purpose, it allows for response to text and matching of texts to specific needs.

<h3>What is a purpose?</h3>

A purpose is known to be the reason for which something is done or created to exist.

An author's purpose can be reflected in the way he writes and clues about identifying a writer's purpose can be found in titles, prefaces and the author's background.

Hence, we can see that the question is incomplete as there was no text or excerpt given to indicate the similarity. A general answer was given to guide you.
