Which sentence in this excerpt from Leo Tolstoy’s The Death of Ivan Ilyich shows the human tendency to contemplate one’s past li

fe?
"But if that is so," he said to himself, "and I am leaving this life with the consciousness that I have lost all that was given me and it is impossible to rectify it—what then?"

He lay on his back and began to pass his life in review in quite a new way. In the morning when he saw first his footman, then his wife, then his daughter, and then the doctor, their every word and movement confirmed to him the awful truth that had been revealed to him during the night. In them he saw himself—all that for which he had lived—and saw clearly that it was not real at all, but a terrible and huge deception which had hidden both life and death. This consciousness intensified his physical suffering tenfold. He groaned and tossed about, and pulled at his clothing which choked and stifled him. And he hated them on that account.

He was given a large dose of opium and became unconscious, but at noon his sufferings began again. He drove everybody away and tossed from side to side.

His wife came to him and said:

"Jean, my dear, do this for me. It can't do any harm and often helps. Healthy people often do it."

He opened his eyes wide.

"What? Take communion? Why? It's unnecessary! However..."

She began to cry.

"Yes, do, my dear. I'll send for our priest. He is such a nice man."

"All right. Very well," he muttered.

When the priest came and heard his confession, Ivan Ilyich was softened and seemed to feel a relief from his doubts and consequently from his sufferings, and for a moment there came a ray of hope. He again began to think of the vermiform appendix and the possibility of correcting it. He received the sacrament with tears in his eyes.

Read these sentences from the ReadWorks passage, "Cabin in the Woods".
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

Based on this information, what we can conclude about what Joey told Jessica and Felicia about the cabin is:

Joey told them something horrifying.

Explanation:

In general, what makes us afraid of falling asleep is something horrifying. For most people, horror movies or stories will do the trick, especially if they think they will dream about whatever it is they saw or that was described. This seems to be the case with the cabin Joey described. He probably talked of an abandoned cabin in the woods, where creaking noises can be heard and where hikers claim to have seen a ghost or monster of some kind. No wonder Felicia would push it to the back of her mind. Such a description would certainly make her afraid, maybe even make its way into her dreams.

Good Evening All,

Online learning has heavily affected students, due to the limited communication, meaning not all the students reach their full understanding of the subject. There are many negative effects to it, such as; the lack of efficiency of technology, the difficulty for pupils to understand the concepts taught, and online learning causes social isolation and results in pupils not developing the necessary communication skills.
