From these excerpts from Leo Tolstoy's The Death of Ivan Ilyich, the important fact that is brought out in this use of repetition is, C. Ivan Ilyich recognizes and hates the false propriety in Praskovya Fedorovna, a false nature that he himself once had. So it does not mean he really hates his wife, but rather the fact that she is having such good manners when he feels he could actually die. He himself also once had this kind of proper politeness, and now that he is ill he feels is not true.

The correct answer is B. Praskovya Fedorovna is portrayed by Tolstoi as the unsympathetic wife of Ivan Illyich. This woman is seen as a person who does not care about her husband. She is an egocentric person and only seeks for her own good; she does not think about the wellness of her dying husband, so Ivan knows that she acts in an agreeable way only because she is happy to know that he is dying, so she won’t have to keep sharing her life with him. This is the main reason why Ivan hates her and that is why Tolstoi keeps repeating the feeling that he has for her.  

Answer A is not correct because the marriage gave Ivan a sort of personal satisfaction plus he considered that this was the best decision to make; thus, he does not regret his decision, even though knew he was never in love with Praskovya. Nevertheless, he is okay with the fact that both of them do not share the same points of view although he really hates her wife.

Answer C is not correct because Ivan never had a propriety although, at some point, he has some reflections about the way in which he is living his life and how things changed for him. Nonetheless, he never had this kind of principles nor Praskovya.

Answer D is not correct because, actually ,Praskovya does not care about him and she is only acting agreeable with him because he is dying, so the fact that Ivan hates her does not have anything to do with his ignorance about the situation.

Answer:

The book "Where the Red Fern Grows" is about a boy named Billy who saves his money to buy two hunting hounds. When he gets enough money, he goes to town on foot to buy it, a girl and a boy. On his way back, he sleeps in a cave like a mountain lion screeches as he gets closer. Billy is restoring the flames, and the lion is frightened. Little Ann's got the brains, and Old Dan has the strength. He trains them to be hunting dogs. Billy later enters the dogs into a coon hunting competition and they win. One night they go after what Billy thought was a coon. Turns out it was a mountain lion. The dogs are determined to kill it and the lion wasn't going to give up. Luckily, Billy has an axe with him and he kills him after many tries. When the fight is over, Old Dan and Little Ann are beat up. Unfortunately Old Dan's injuries are too fierce and he dies the next day. Little Ann is so upset she stops eating and dies a week after. Billy buries them side by side overlooking the hunting forests and a year later his family decides to move into the city. When Billy goes out to say goodbye to his dogs, he finds a red fern growing between their graves along with wildlife flowers. The old tale of the red fern was that only an angel sent from heaven planted it

Explain how the imagery contributes to a particular narrative element?
pogonyaev
Imagery can make something abstract, like an emotion or theory, seem more concrete and tangible to the reader. By using imagery, writers can evoke the feeling they want to talk about in their readers...and by making their readers feel, writers can also help readers connect to the messages in their work.

Start off by addressing the situation. Include sufficient arguments to back up your point. One other thing, make sure that you don't call them out too much. It is better to keep it more straightforward.<span />
