What theme is portrayed in this excerpt from Leo Tolstoy’s The Death of Ivan Ilyich? In reality it was just what is usually seen

in the houses of people of moderate means who want to appear rich, and therefore succeed only in resembling others like themselves: there are damasks, dark wood, plants, rugs, and dull and polished bronzes—all the things people of a certain class have in order to resemble other people of that class. His house was so like the others that it would never have been noticed, but to him it all seemed to be quite exceptional. He was very happy when he met his family at the station and brought them to the newly furnished house all lit up, where a footman in a white tie opened the door into the hall decorated with plants, and when they went on into the drawing-room and the study uttering exclamations of delight.

Answer:

i wouldnt say neither one is the correct answer. I believe D is more close to the answer conforming to societal conventions

Explanation:

Which sentence has the strongest nouns?
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

3.He climbed the trellis to reach the balcony.

Explanation:

Strong nouns help the writer describe and give power to the sentence, this clarifies whet the writer is talking about and how he is talking about it, it describes it better and gives a broader example and a better description of what the writer is talking about. Bland nouns are words that are too simple to describe something, like the colours, green glass building, you already know what are you talking about, but if they tell you swamp colored building, you make a stronger impact on the imagination of your reader.
