Which two lines in this excerpt from Leo Tolstoy's The Death of Ivan Ilyich together use symbolism to indicate that death is app

roaching?
Why deceive myself? Isn't it obvious to everyone but me that I'm dying, and that it's only a question of weeks, days...it may happen this moment. There was light and now there is darkness. I was here and now I'm going there! Where?" A chill came over him, his breathing ceased, and he felt only the throbbing of his heart.

"When I am not, what will there be? There will be nothing. Then where shall I be when I am no more? Can this be dying? No, I don't want to!" He jumped up and tried to light the candle, felt for it with trembling hands, dropped candle and candlestick on the floor, and fell back on his pillow.

"What's the use? It makes no difference," he said to himself, staring with wide-open eyes into the darkness. "Death. Yes, death. And none of them knows or wishes to know it, and they have no pity for me. Now they are playing." (He heard through the door the distant sound of a song and its accompaniment.) "It's all the same to them, but they will die too! Fools! I first, and they later, but it will be the same for them. And now they are merry...the beasts!"

Anger choked him and he was agonizingly, unbearably miserable. "It is impossible that all men have been doomed to suffer this awful horror!" He raised himself.

Read the excerpt from a speech petitioning people to adopt animals in need.
Sergio [31]

Answer:

Second option: Animals bred through pet shops suffer health problems.

Third Option: People need to adopt animals instead of going to pet shops.

Explanation:

These two ideas best summarize the ideas presented in the excerpt. Speaker's main purpose is to persuade the audience not to buy animals from pet store instead adopt them from animal shelter, he (speaker) needs to give audience a reason why they should not buy from pet stores. This reason is provided in the second option i.e these animals suffer health problems. The third option is the conclusion and purpose of the speech. So this point too is required for summarizing the speech.

First and fourth options, although relevant, are less important when considering the purpose of the speech.

Fifth option is neither part of the speech, not speaker's purpose.

Reread lines 520-523.
Margaret [11]

Answer:

If Rainsford is panicking, he is probably not being mindful of the likely easy-to-follow) trail he's leaving  behind .

Explanation:

Richard Connell's short story <em>The Most Dangerous Game</em> presents a famed and expert hunter being hunted by an insane and barbaric general who prides himself in achieving an exciting form of hunting. Sanger Rainsford's attempts to save himself from the grasp of the insane hunter General Zaroff led to the inverse role of him being hunted despite being a talented hunter himself.

The given lines are from after General Zaroff told him to get along before he is pursued as a prey. Rainsford had to get to a safe distance if he is to stay alive and earn his freedom. And in his shock in discovering he had been selected as the prey to be hunted, he couldn't think straight which led him to have a sort of<em> "panic"</em>. So, the <em>"plunging along"</em> in panic in the sentence can be problematic for if he panics, then it will mean he will not have a clear mind on how to misdirect his hunter. The <u>panic will most likely keep him so occupied that he will miss making the trail difficult, leading Zaroff to follow the easy trail left behind by the 'panicking' Rainsford.</u>

What does the writer imply in this line from the excerpt?
Papessa [141]
The answer is A. Politicians have no respect for other's privacy. The use of the phrase "the hog-pen was still empty" suggests that politicians are of the same level as pigs. They are animals who cannot even take care of themselves; who are foul-smelling; and greedy. Moreover, they are not ashamed to intrude people's private lives for the sake of their selfish ambitions and vested interests.

In the middle chapters of The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, the character Daisy is completely enamored by Gatsby's charms
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

The answer is option D

Explanation:

All of a sudden, we're hearing the name Gatsby, as in "The Great" character by F. Scott Fitzgerald, utilized as a first name for young ladies and in addition young men. The book's Jay Gatsby gussied up his name from Gatz, whose importance is given differently as left-given, feline, God, and individual from Gat.The message is that the American dream is fanciful. It influences men to do unprecedented and dishonest things Gatsby's reevaluation and vulgar riches yet anyway much they pursue the green light, it is always distant. Gatsby discovers Daisy yet their get-together is shortlived.In one sense, the title of the novel is amusing; the title character is not one or the other "incredible" nor named Gatsby. He is a criminal whose genuine name is James Gatz, and the existence he has made for himself is a deception
