In this excerpt from Leo Tolstoy's The Death of Ivan Ilyich, how does Ivan Ilyich use the Caius allusion to deal with his impend

ing death?
In the depth of his heart he knew he was dying, but not only was he not accustomed to the thought, he simply did not and could not grasp it.

The syllogism he had learnt from Kiesewetter's Logic: "Caius is a man, men are mortal, therefore Caius is mortal," had always seemed to him correct as applied to Caius, but certainly not as applied to himself. That Caius—man in the abstract—was mortal, was perfectly correct, but he was not Caius, not an abstract man, but a creature quite, quite separate from all others. He had been little Vanya, with a mamma and a papa, with Mitya and Volodya, with the toys, a coachman and a nurse, afterwards with Katenka and will all the joys, griefs, and delights of childhood, boyhood, and youth. What did Caius know of the smell of that striped leather ball Vanya had been so fond of? Had Caius kissed his mother's hand like that, and did the silk of her dress rustle so for Caius? Had he rioted like that at school when the pastry was bad? Had Caius been in love like that? Could Caius preside at a session as he did? "Caius really was mortal, and it was right for him to die; but for me, little Vanya, Ivan Ilyich, with all my thoughts and emotions, it's altogether a different matter. It cannot be that I ought to die. That would be too terrible."

Such was his feeling.

A.Ivan Ilyich discovers his own individuality through memories and realizes the unfairness of death.
B.Ivan Ilyich regrets his wasted life and longs for the love of family and friends he has lost in the past.
C.Ivan Ilyich is terrified of death, and considering it in an abstract way is the only way he can deal with it.
D.Ivan Ilyich realizes how unfair death is and becomes even more determined to save himself in any way he can.
E.Ivan Ilyich realizes that his time is running out and that his life has been no more meaningful than that of Caius's.

In the excerpt from Leo Tolstoy's The Death of Ivan Ilyich, Ivan Ilyich uses the Caius allusion to deal with his impending death by employing logic even with his last moments in his life. He attempts to make sense of his death with logic alluded by Caius' analogy. 

Ivan Ilyich realizes how unfair death is and becomes even more determined to save himself in any way he can.
He compares his life to that of Caius's, who did or experienced nothing Ivan had, so he doesn't want to accept the fact he is going to die like that.

What assumptions are made about Oliver’s character in mr. fang’s court
AlladinOne [14]

Assumptions are made about Oliver’s character in Mr. fang’s court is Like Brownlow, and dissimilar to the English legitimate framework, the Maylies have confidence in absolution and thoughtfulness.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Dickens utilizes these characters, who accept that Oliver is inherently acceptable however naturally introduced to an awful domain, to show that indecencies can be battled by improving the material states of the poor as opposite to by rebuffing them. Oliver winds up with what's left of his legacy, is legitimately received by Mr. Brownlow, and lives not far off from the Maylies. Everyone lives joyfully ever after.

Lines 424-430 what message is implied by the old woman’s transformation into a young beautiful woman
gavmur [86]

An implied message is the type of message where an idea is not directly stated, rather it is subtly inferred.

Therefore, to identify an implied message in a sentence:

  • First understand the main idea
  • Then, observe the supporting details that back up the main idea

For example, if someone says: "This car is a jet", he does not mean that the car is literally a jet, but implies that the car is fast and can get to top speed in a short time.

As a result of this, follow  the above guideline to get an implied message's meaning
