What can be inferred about Ivan LIyich based on this excerpt from Leo Tolstoy's <em>The Death of Ivan Llyich</em> is that <em>he is extremely worried about his health.</em> <u>The correct answer is A.</u>
Explanation:
Especially after reading the last paragraph, we can realize how concerned Ivan Llyich is about his health. He tries to decode what the doctor has told him, but he finds this job very difficult, since they usually use technical terms that he doesn't understand. After a moment of thinking what the doctor meant with his words, he thinks he got the message: he is very ill, and that changes everything for him. He feels everything around him is grey, sad, depressing. That knowledge -him being so ill- changes the perception of the world and makes it uglier.
