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. A. Both Gerasim and Praskovya Fedorovna are honest about their motives, but only Gerasim genuinely cares for Ivan Ilyich. B. While Gerasim is kind to Ivan Ilyich and offers him all the help he can, Praskovya Fedorovna is cruel to Ivan and torments him. C. Gerasim attends to Ivan Ilyich’s needs and gives him all his medicines, while Praskovya Fedorovna does not care and neglects his health. D. Both Gerasim and Praskovya Fedorovna want Ivan to beat his disease and survive, but only Gerasim cares about Ivan Ilyich’s happiness.

Answer:

A

Explanation:

The care of Gerasim is genuine while that of Praskovya Fedorovna is fake. Ivan could tell this. While each is caring for him in his/her own way, he knew the one done with sincerity and that with 'falsity'

How does H. T. Johnson use sarcasm in his poem "The Black Man's Burden"? A. He calls the imperialist armies "fearless" but also
PIT_PIT [208]

The quick answer is A, I believe.

It is the closest thing to sarcasm in the poem. It is more of a wail that it is sarcasm. It bemoans the fact that you can easily fight people who are not as well equipped as you are to carry on a battle.

He doesn't mock their inability to fight back. The line that is sarcasm isn't mentioned. Laughter drowns out the pain and wailing.

The natives are doing the laughing. The British are.

The red and brown is more or less just a fact.

A is the closest thing you have to an answer.

In a narrative <br> what happens during the conclusion
MAVERICK [17]
Usually, in a conclusion, you wrap up what you have been writing about the whole time. So, a conclusion is basically a summary of the whole text. You can introduce new ideas for the reader, but it is usually inadvisable. In a couple of sentences, you should finish your text, referring to the previous paragraphs and just wrap it all up nicely.

Fudgin [204]

The right answer is: D) "Jem ran to the kitchen (...) we had company". Jem invites Walter Cunningham to lunch when he finds out that he has nothing to eat.

Walter asks for more molasses and pours it in the meat and the vegetables. Scout asks him straight out what he´s doing, and Calpurnia gives him a lesson on how to treat guests, even if the are from families like the Cunningham.
