A character foil is one that contrast with the other character. In the case of Ivan he was weak and ill on his way to death, so Gerasim contrasted his character by showing strength and health, this appears in the part where Gerasim came in with strong bare young arms and later showing health and vitality.

The two sentences that show this contrast  and Gerasim as characters foil to Ivan are in option 2. and 4.

2.Gerasim with a firm light tread, his heavy boots emitting a pleasant smell of tar and fresh winter air, came in wearing a clean Hessian apron, the sleeves of his print shirt tucked up over his strong bare young arms;

4.Health, strength, and vitality in other people were offensive to him, but Gerasim's strength and vitality did not mortify but soothed him.

In this excerpt from Leo Tolstoy's <em>The Death of Ivan Llyich</em>, the sentences that show that the young Gerasim is a foil to Ivan are number 2 and 4.

These two sentences show the contrast between the character of Ivan and Gerasim. Gerasim is Ivan's nurse and the butler's assistant, he serves as a foil to Ivan because he is healthy, strong, vigorous, direct, he feels joy for life, he is considered of his master's feelings. In these two sentences it shows that Gerasim is just everything that Ivan is not.

\huge\boxed{\textsf{Shocked}}

First of all, let's go over the differences between connotations and denotations.

A word's denotation is a precise, literal definition of what the word means. This is something you can find in a dictionary.

A word's connotation is less precise and more emotional. It's the positive and/or negative associations a word naturally has with it. You can almost think of it as the natural tone of a word.

For example, the word "brilliant" has a more positive connotation that the word "aggressive".

Now, let's look at this specific problem. Out of the four words given, three of them have a more positive connotation. The one with a slightly negative connotation is "shocked".

This is because the word "shocked" is often associated with fearful situations in people's minds.

In I got materially into the apple barrelful ,and found there was rare an apple left wing ; at the same clock time , taking a fanny there in obscurity, what with the sound of the waters and the vibration maturation of the ship, I had either nod off, or was nearly doing as such, when an overwhelming man sat down with rather a conflict ending. The barrel shook as he inclined his articulatio humeri against it, and I was going to record hop up when the man started to talk. It was Silver's representative ,and, before I had heard twelve Holy Writ , I would not have shown myself for all the, humans , but rather lay there, trembling and tuning in, in the extraordinary of apprehension and interest; for from these dozen words I comprehended that the lives of all the unfair men on board relied upon only me.
