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.

Which of the following techniques is key in the process of close reading?
Tems11 [23]
Annotating is the closest technique in the process of close reading.

Annotating the process of writing detailed notes around said paragraph.  It doesn't just mean to take notes, you could also be highlighting or underlining some terms.  I can't clearly describe it because you can practically do anything here.

If you do a Google search for the definition of annotation, you get...
<em>"a</em><span><em> note of explanation or comment added to a text or diagram."</em></span>

PLS HELP!!!!!!!!
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

The keys

Explanation:

Keys is the object that is directly receiving the action; it cannot replace or describe the noun. (Keys is not Daniel.)

Table is an object of the preposition, since on is the preposition. That means on the table is just a prepositional phrase, and is not part of the S-Vt-DO sentence.

Therefore, the noun is Daniel, the verb-transitive is Daniel, and the Direct Object is keys.
